Aisin TF71SC is a third-generation transmission. Function of transmission: The transmission is used to change the speed and torque from the engine, and can fix or separately change the transmission ratio of the output shaft and input shaft as an automotive component. Composition of transmission: The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, and can be classified into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions. Functions of transmission: With the engine speed and torque unchanged, the transmission can change the driving force and speed of the vehicle; enable the vehicle to reverse; and allow the engine to stop without stalling.

I usually focus on researching automotive powertrains, and the Aisin TF71SC transmission belongs to the third-generation product. As a 6AT transmission for transverse platforms, it has been used in models from Peugeot, Citroën, and even some Volkswagen vehicles. The most notable feature of the third generation is the optimized torque converter and planetary gear set structure, reducing shift delay by about 20% compared to the second generation. I recall this generation of transmissions started being installed around 2008, addressing the occasional jerking issues during cold starts in older models. Although Aisin has now progressed to the fifth generation, the TF71SC's reliability still enjoys a good reputation in the used car market.

My old 408 is equipped with the TF71SC transmission, and I specifically researched its details. It belongs to Aisin's third-generation automatic transmission, which adds a manual mode switching function compared to the previous generation. The most practical feature of this generation is that it automatically learns driving habits even in regular D mode, making gear shifts noticeably smarter than the old 4AT during traffic jams. During a maintenance visit, a technician mentioned that this generation's housing is over ten kilograms lighter than the second generation, and the oil circuit design is more reasonable, making it particularly durable. However, it's important to change the transmission fluid regularly—a friend's car ran 150,000 kilometers without a fluid change, resulting in a clogged valve body and a 3,000-plus repair bill.

Having repaired cars for twenty years, I've handled countless Aisin transmissions. The TF71SC model is clearly a third-generation product with the internal code AWF8F35. Compared to the second generation, its valve body solenoids have increased from 6 to 9, resulting in significantly improved control precision. It's commonly paired with 1.6T engines, and the oldest one I've repaired needed an overhaul only after running 280,000 kilometers. The key maintenance point is using the correct fluid—only transmission oil with LT71141 certification should be used. Last time, an owner mistakenly used GL4 gear oil, which caused slipping. This generation of transmissions has a very low overall failure rate, with only occasional minor issues like sticky shift cables.

How early can a B2 driver's license annual review be conducted?

Annual reviews cannot be conducted in advance. Below is relevant information about annual reviews: 1. Concept: Also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the usage nature of the motor vehicle. 2. Time: For small cars and blue-license minivans, within the first six years after new vehicle registration, an inspection is required every two years; after six years, it becomes an annual inspection; after ten years, it's an annual inspection, and after fifteen years, it's twice a year. For trucks, after registration, an annual inspection is required; after ten years, it's twice a year. The documents required for vehicle annual inspection include: the vehicle's driving license, valid compulsory insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel usage tax.

What are the four basic types of car insurance?

Vehicle insurance four basic types refer to vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, no-deductible insurance, and passenger insurance. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Vehicle damage insurance: Vehicle damage insurance means that if the vehicle owner causes total or partial loss of the vehicle due to an accident during driving, the insurer shall compensate according to the insurance contract. 2. Third-party liability insurance: Third-party liability insurance refers to the economic liability that the insured or their permitted driver should bear according to the law when an accident occurs during the use of the insured vehicle, causing personal injury or death or direct property damage to a third party, and the insurance company is responsible for compensation. 3. No-deductible insurance: If an accident within the scope of insurance liability occurs, resulting in vehicle loss or third-party liability compensation, the insurer shall be responsible for compensation according to the amount stipulated in the "Terms" for compensation. 4. Passenger insurance: Refers to during the insurance period, the insured and their permitted legal driver, in the process of using the insured vehicle, if an accident occurs causing personal injury or death to the personnel on the insured vehicle, the economic compensation liability that should be borne by the insured according to the law.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Haval H9?

The maximum wading depth of the Haval H9 is 700mm. The wading depth of the Haval H9 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Haval H9 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow it at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to estimate water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.

Should the Buick GL6 Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Buick GL6 should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also indicate the recommended octane. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade. High-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Buick GL6 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct octane after the tank is empty. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended for low-octane gasoline, using a higher octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane value may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended for high-octane gasoline, using a lower octane can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane value reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance occurs during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.
