The reasons for slight shaking during cold idle: 1. The car's engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and other various fluids are not warmed up, and the water temperature hasn't risen yet - the entire vehicle is cold; 2. Poor combustion in the cylinders, which leads to insufficient power output from the engine, causing the car to shake. Idling is an operating condition of a car where the engine runs in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called idle speed. When adjusting idle speed, the RPM shouldn't suddenly increase or decrease, otherwise it may cause premature wear to the engine. Idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size. Idling essentially means the engine is running but not doing any work.

What transmission is used in the BAIC Senova X35?

Senova X35 uses two types of transmissions in total, one is a 5-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 4AT transmission. Here are the relevant details: 1. The AT transmission is the most mature and widely used transmission technology, with a relatively complex structure. The AT transmission consists entirely of planetary gears inside, which are used for speed and torque variation. The AT transmission is connected to the engine through a torque converter, which is filled with transmission fluid. It is due to this soft connection method that the AT transmission offers smoother shifting. 2. The AT transmission has good reliability and stability. If properly used and maintained, it rarely encounters any faults. However, if the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it can lead to transmission damage.
