Why is my 1991 Nissan 300Z Automatic transmission overheating?
Could possibly be shifting gears sporadically or your driving on hilly terrain.
Why automatic car invented?
People wanted an better way of driving with less distractions like shifting and the use of a clutch
What kind of transmission is better for city driving?
An automatic transmission is better than a manual transmission for city driving. It cuts down on the fatigue of constant shifting and reduces rollback.
Why would your automatic car sound like it is shifting gears?
Because it is. The transmission of an automatic does for you what you have to do if driving a stick. it does that whole clutch in shift for you, supposedly making it more efficient in usage of gas.
What is the effect of driving a manual car versus an automatic transmission car?
Better gas mileage and it will pick up speed faster when shifting gears.
You currently have a 98' Ford Explorer Automatic After driving for aprox 12 miles the speedometer bounces and then hits zero and its the same length of time when it reaches zero?
Probably a vehicle speed sensor (vss). As the engine/trans warms up the sensor may go out of operating parameters. Usually the vehicle will experience erratic shifting also. Hope this helps you.
What is speedometer pointer?
a speedometer pointer is were there is a pointer were basically it points what speed your in whilst your driving
When driving a automatic transmission commercial vehicle when should you downshift?
The purpose of the automatic transmission is that is shifts for you. You'll want to lock your transmission into your ideal gear for going up and down steep inclines to prevent it from downshifting, but, other than that, you typically let the computer do the shifting for you.
Does the speedometer of the car reveal the exact speed you are driving at?
no
What is the trans clunk from your 02 Tacoma?
A clunking sound on shifting gears and while driving can be indicative of failed transmission mount. If the condition is always occurring regardless of shift and driving on level surfaces an internal automatic transmission mechanical condition is possible also.
What is the advantage of a 6 speed manual transmission over an automatic transmission?
The advantage of a six speed manual transmission over a automatic transmission is you control the shifting. Now this can be a good or bad thing. It depends on how exprienced you are at driving and how well you know your car. Another advantage is that when you are driving or racing on a track you have another gear to go unlike other cars.
What could cause the RPM gauge to go up and down while driving?
That's called the tachometer. You didn't provide much information, but maybe it only happens when you (or the automatic transmission, if you have an automatic) shift gears. If that's the case, it's normal. Shifting to a different gear at any given speed changes the RPM's of the engine. If it happens at times other than when shifting, something else is wrong.
