What is the reason for the failure of high and low speed switching in Fast gearbox?

If there is no high gear start and the operation is correct, then it is necessary to carefully check the air pressure, air pipe, pre-selection valve, shifting cylinder, auxiliary box shifting fork, auxiliary box synchronizer, auxiliary box driving gear. If there are no other problems, you don't need to consider them. First, consider the shifting cylinder and fuel tank synchronizer. Additional information: It is recommended to switch between high and low gears only between 4th and 5th gears. Skipping gears to switch between high and low gears will cause severe wear of the auxiliary box synchronizer and lead to faults. When parking, it is only allowed to park the vehicle in the neutral position of the low gear area, that is, the shifting head on the side of the gear lever faces downward. It is strictly prohibited to park and shut down the vehicle in the neutral position of the high gear area, otherwise it may cause serious faults.

Must the CV joint boot be replaced if it is broken?

CV joint boot must be replaced if it is broken. After the CV joint boot is damaged, the grease inside the CV joint will be thrown out, and dust and dirt will enter the bearing of the CV joint, causing abnormal wear of the CV joint, and even causing the CV joint to seize. Related introduction of CV joint boot: 1. Material: The material used is thermoplastic elastomer, also known as thermoplastic rubber, which is a polymer alloy material between rubber and thermoplastic plastic, with the dual characteristics of rubber and plastic. 2. Function: The function of the CV joint boot is to wrap the grease, preventing it from flowing outside and keeping it inside the CV joint. Once the grease inside the CV joint is insufficient, it will cause excessive wear of the CV joint and premature damage. Repair requires replacement of the CV joint, which is relatively expensive. Therefore, once the CV joint boot is found to be broken or leaking oil, it must be replaced in time.
