Honda 5AT transmission jerking and impact sensations are caused by sludge in the transmission oil circulating and clogging the oil passages in the valve body, leading to jerking issues. Over time, this can result in a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slipping. Tips to alleviate jerking: It is not very realistic to completely solve the jerking problem of the Honda 5AT transmission, but some methods can be used to mitigate driving jerking. When the vehicle speed approaches the ideal shifting speed after starting, the jerking sensation will be reduced. Therefore, when driving a Honda with a 5AT transmission, you can mimic the shifting pattern of a manual transmission by modulating the throttle. For example, when starting the vehicle, apply throttle, and when the RPM reaches 1500, release the throttle pedal and then gently reapply it. This can minimize the most noticeable 1st to 2nd gear jerking in the Honda 5AT. Precautions: It should be noted that in Eco Mode, the engine shifts up faster, which is one of the reasons why Eco Mode saves fuel. However, the transmission upshifts based on RPM, so in Eco Mode, a slightly heavier throttle input will cause an upshift, but the vehicle speed may not be fast enough at that moment, resulting in a jerking sensation.

How to Judge Left and Right Distance When You Can't See the Front of the Car While Driving?

Here are some relevant methods on how to judge left and right distance when you can't see the front of the car while driving: 1. Method One: Skillfully Use Markings. Make left, middle, and right markings on the inner side of the front windshield respectively. When making the markings, adjust the seat properly, sit in the normal driving posture, and observe the markings by moving your eyes without moving your head, looking at the place closest to the car. 2. Method Two: Install Auxiliary Equipment. With the advancement of automotive technology, the cost of in-car electronic devices has been greatly reduced, and many car manufacturers have already standardly equipped front and rear radars or 360-degree panoramic cameras. 3. Method Three: Align the Front Edge of the Car with the Lower Edge of the Front Car's Tire. When the front edge of the car just touches the lower edge of the front car's tire, the distance from the front car is approximately 5 meters.

Why does the motorcycle horn sometimes work and sometimes not?

Reasons why the motorcycle horn sometimes works and sometimes not: 1. Poor internal contact. According to the working principle of the horn, if the contact points are not properly connected, the horn may intermittently work or not work; 2. Poor plug contact. Due to frequent use, wear and tear may cause loose connections, especially in rainy weather, which can lead to a lower sound or complete failure; 3. The crossover is soaked or damp. Motorcycles are powered by gasoline engines and are two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes.

Why is the Mercedes-Benz reversing camera screen black?

The reasons for the black screen of the Mercedes-Benz reversing camera are: 1. Poor line contact. It is necessary to check the connection between the line and the vehicle installation in time to see if there is any virtual connection; 2. The video power cord is aging. You can try to replace it with a new power cord; 3. The reversing camera has been used for too long, resulting in poor chip photosensitivity. Taking the Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG 2020 AMG G63 as an example, it is a medium and large 5-door 5-seat SUV with a length, width and height of 4864mm, 1984mm and 1974mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2890mm, equipped with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission, and a maximum speed of 220 kilometers per hour.

Should the Tiguan L use 95 or 92 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Tiguan L should use 95 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 be clearly marked. 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 gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline. This is 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 grade, the higher the octane number 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 Tiguan L occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
