Differential humming at low speeds mainly has the following reasons: Insufficient Lubricating Oil: If the differential lacks lubricating oil or the quality of the oil is poor, it can easily cause abnormal noise from the differential. In this case, simply replenishing the lubricating oil will suffice. Worn Differential Gears: If the gears are worn, they cannot properly mesh with other components during operation, causing friction between parts and leading to abnormal noise from the differential. In this situation, the gears need to be replaced. Improper Gear Adjustment: Similarly, if the spacing between the gears is not properly adjusted, it can also cause abnormal noise. In this case, the spacing needs to be readjusted. Foreign Objects in the Differential: When foreign objects such as mud or sand get stuck in the differential, they can also cause abnormal noise.

Can You Drive on the Highway with a Cracked Car Windshield?

It is not recommended to drive on the highway if your vehicle's front windshield has a crack. Below is relevant information about a cracked front windshield: Hazards of a cracked front windshield: The front windshield of a car is typically laminated glass. When subjected to external impact, cracks may form, allowing air to enter the interlayer of the glass, which could lead to delamination. If you continue driving, the pressure on the windshield will increase with changes in speed and wind resistance, causing the crack to expand further. This not only obstructs visibility but also significantly compromises driving safety. Recommended solutions: If the crack in the windshield is minor, you can take it to a professional glass repair shop for restoration before driving again. If you must drive due to time constraints, it is advised not to exceed 100 km/h. For longer cracks, it is best to avoid driving altogether. In such cases, repair may not be possible, and immediate replacement is necessary.

What is the handle for shifting gears called?

The handle for shifting gears is called a gear shift lever. Specific details are as follows: 1. Origin of the name: Gear shifting is the abbreviation for "transmission lever operation method." Over the long history of driving, its concise and straightforward name has become widely used. It is used very frequently. Moreover, the level of proficiency in its operation (especially in manual transmission cars) directly affects driving safety. 2. Electronic gear shift lever: Unlike ordinary mechanical gear shift levers, the transmission's gears are directly controlled by simulated electronic signal outputs. The advantages include ease of operation—pushing up and down can engage the corresponding gears—and since the entire process is computer-controlled, it can also prevent damage to the transmission caused by accidental gear engagement. From a technical perspective, electronic gear shift levers offer a high degree of freedom, with flexible positioning and forms.
