【 Master Bang online 】 Answer winter shift difficulties!
The weather is getting colder recently
Many owners asked Master Bang
Why do cars have difficulty shifting gears
There is a sense of frustration
Especially those who drive manual gears
Drive to work in the morning
It's hard to shift gears when you're just driving
Especially first gear and reverse gear
The dragging phenomenon is very serious
But after a hot car or after a short distance
why
?
Master Bang told everyone
It's actually very simple
This is because of the cold weather
The car was not warmed up
Transmission fluid viscosity increases with temperature
Cause the gear to run difficult
Can not achieve perfect lubrication effect
Generally speaking
Transmission oil at low temperature
Too viscous
Just like glue to the gears
It's glued together
That's why it's so hard to get in gear
The engine gets hot when driving or behind a hot car
As the engine heats up, the heat is transferred to the gearbox
Then the heat in the gearbox goes up
And once the crankshaft starts spinning
Drive the output shaft to rotate through the clutch
It slowly increases the internal energy of the oil
Stirred by the gears and heated up
Will make the gear more smooth
therefore
If it's hard to get into gear when it's cold
It is recommended that you warm up your car before driving in winter
In addition, let's talk about the automatic model
The automatic is also due to
Transmission fluid viscosity increases
Although the oil pump began to work
But many cars also suffer from a lag in upgear
For example, the vehicle can be automatically upshifted at 2000 RPM
And the cold car just started to reach 3000 RPM
At even higher revs
You're going to be upshifting
This is where we pay attention
Because some friends will push the gas pedal very deep
Eager to rev up the engine to force an automatic upshift
Master Bang told everyone
Don't do that.
If you often let the automatic car step on the accelerator instantly when the car is cold in winter
Zoom up to 3000-4000 RPM to complete automatic upshift
There's no doubt that this will damage the automatic gearbox
Clutch plate and brake plate
Including the slide valve mechanism inside
Cause some unusual wear and tear
It will also shorten the service life of the automatic transmission
So the car automatically
It still needs the original geothermal vehicle to go again
Don't be hasty
According to the above questions, we can judge
The main reason why cars are hard to shift is
Winter temperatures are too low
Resulting in excessive lubricating oil viscosity
Hard to turn
therefore
We need to change the low temperature gear oil in winter first
Especially our friends in the north
It is necessary to consider the minimum service temperature of the gear oil
Master Bang's suggestion
If winter temperatures are particularly low in your area
75W or 75W-90 gear oil is available
To ensure fluidity at low temperatures.
Master Bang Tips
Summary of reasons for the problem of car transmission
Car temperature is low
Transmission fluid is not fully lubricated to the gear meshing surface
At this time, you need a hot car, so that the temperature is suitable
Try first gear when it's not on fire
Good hanging is no problem
It is verifiable that transmission fluid does not cause such a large amount of drag
If you change gears on the move
So there's a mismatch between speed and gear
First and reverse gears
The clutch must be able to disengage completely
Can successfully hang in
(Under the cold condition of cold car, hot car or step on the clutch to stay for 1-2 seconds)
