Will the Transmission Be Damaged If Rear-Ended While in D Gear?
1 Answers
D gear parking being rear-ended will not damage the transmission. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. After the engine auto start-stop is activated, the transmission and the engine are in a disconnected state, and the power between them is transmitted using liquid. Since the engine and transmission are completely separated, the force from the rear-end collision pushes the car forward, thus having no impact on the transmission. 2. When the car is parked in D gear, the transmission is in D1 gear, and clutch 2 is in a semi-engaged state. After the rear-end collision, the speed will be transmitted from the wheels to the driven disc of clutch 2, which will not affect the engine and transmission.
