Why is it easier to shift gears when the car is cold but difficult when it's hot?
1 Answers
Transmission oil may not provide adequate lubrication when the car is cold due to low temperatures. Therefore, it is normal to experience some jerking when shifting gears in a cold car. Below is more information about gear shifting: 1. Introduction: Gear shifting (changing gears) refers to the transmission, which is used to alter the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying needs of driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions, such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles. 2. Precautions: Different shifting habits can result in different shifting patterns. If the gear oil in the transmission provides good lubrication and the clutch pedal travel is properly adjusted, shifting gears will become smoother and easier. If shifting habits are not standardized, it can reduce the lifespan of the clutch and gears, increasing their wear and tear.
