What type of transmission does the Focus use?

Aisin, SelectShift™, and Ford Motor Company's in-house R&D developed the transmission for the Ford Focus. Ford Motor Company is one of the largest industrial monopolies in the United States and a significant multinational corporation worldwide, ranking second among the world's largest industrial companies. Its headquarters are located in Dearborn, Michigan. Primary products include automobiles and automotive parts, tractors, televisions, radios, electronic communication systems, missile control systems, satellites, and ground station equipment. The Focus utilizes three types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual transmission, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and an 8-speed automatic manual transmission (with manual shift capability). The automatic manual transmission essentially combines traditional AT or CVT transmissions with manual shifting functionality, aiming to enhance driving pleasure for automatic vehicles. Automatic transmissions adjust to the most appropriate gear ratio based on throttle position and vehicle speed during driving. For the Focus's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals without fluid replacement can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating. Re-engaging 'D' mode afterward may also result in abrupt shifts. Never shift into 'D' or 'R' before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt smooth transitions by shifting into reverse while still moving, which severely stresses transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or failure over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in 'D' mode. Automatic vehicles may overheat under high loads or upshift prematurely, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock lower gears or engage sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow over long distances. If an automatic Focus requires towing due to a breakdown, use a flatbed trailer with the vehicle in 'N' rather than tow ropes or direct dragging.

Is Filing Required for Motorcycle Color Change?

Whether filing is required depends on Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the Road Traffic Safety Law. If the color change area does not exceed 30%, no modification registration is needed. Otherwise, filing is required, and registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle color change. According to Article 6 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the following documents must be submitted when applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: the Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form; original and photocopies of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent; original Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate; original Motor Vehicle License; and payment of any fines before changing the vehicle color. Precautions for Vehicle Color Change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region permits the use of wraps to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, filing procedures cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations, owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. Change of the vehicle owner's residence in or out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or similar to those of the aforementioned vehicles.
