Maxim Ryazanov, technical director of the Fresh Auto dealer network, told the agency: “Hitting the Primer”Due to the rising prices of new cars, many Russians refuse to change their personal vehicles, preferring to repair them.
According to the auto expert, one of the most expensive elements to repair is the automatic transmission. According to Ryazanov, the cost of repair may be the same as the price of the car.
To avoid significant expenses, you need to know how to properly operate the automatic transmission.
Ryazanov pointed out to drivers that they should first stop using the automatic transmission, likening it to “mechanics”. You cannot switch to “empty” at temporary stops and when getting off.
“Many drivers use this technique for fuel economy, but instead the oil supply to the transmission is cut off, depriving it of the necessary lubrication and maintaining the optimum temperature,” said Ryazanov.
Also, you should not start such a car by pushing from behind, but towed subject to certain conditions: the speed is no higher than 30-40 km / h.
It is not recommended to leave the car for a long time without moving in driving mode – this will lead to overheating of the box.
