Tips : Canvas for automatic clutch stay well maintained

The main difference lies automatic transmission with a manual transmission system. When the model we have to move the lever manual transmission according to the speed we want, the rider simply shifts automatic transmission lever into position “D” as the car drove.

Shift the transmission is only done when the riders come across or through special classified roads, such as a steep incline or derivatives. It was definitely much more comfortable and the leg was not sore. Left foot rested even for the automatic transmission system to “retire” the clutch pedal.

Because the fun of driving a car without having to move the transmission lever, the rider sometimes not aware of a general habit of making quick transmission oil declined in quality, sometimes even create friction in the transmission of coupling wear out faster. As a result, the battery life faster, and we must immediately replace the transmission oil or canvas with a new clutch.

Transmission oil and coupling that is not good anymore will affect the performance of the car. Strength was less strong. Weak when asked to run, let alone the path uphill. Habit that must be corrected immediately took place at the time the car stopped long enough. For example, when stuck in traffic light waiting for green lights, or even when lined up in a traffic jam.

When the car is expected to be in a stationary position about 1 (one) minute or more, Move the gear lever to position “N” (neutral). Do not do it the way that is less friendly to the transmission.

In consideration of the car will soon be moving, there are many riders who still put the transmission in positions other than “D”. Then, so the car does not move, his right foot stepped on the brake pedal after being taken off the gas pedal. Erroneous actions above will make the transmission oil temperature increases dramatically because so little fresh air flow to cool the transmission when the vehicle stationary.

If the transmission oil temperature tends to rise above its temperature, then the quality will go down so that the automatic transmission will make the ability to be weak. In addition, declining quality of oil will create friction in the clutch in the transmission the greater the friction, which in turn will make the thin frictional clutch.

Tips : Caring Velg To stay shiny

Although often come into contact with dust and soil, tires and wheels remain an important part that affects the appearance of your car. Wheels are dirty and dull will definitely reduce the appearance of the exterior.
Because the tire and wheel maintenance that must be done. Do, do not wash the car that had just finished driving, because the wheels would still be hot and if exposed to water will cause mold. Wait a few moments until chilled wheels.
Before cleaning the wheels and tires, used to clean the room in the fender / mudguard for the dirt does not fall dirty tires and wheels.
When cleaning the wheels, use car shampoo with a clean sponge and soft. Use a brush to clean the corners that are difficult to reach. You can also use an old toothbrush.
Special alloy wheels with chrome, you should use special liquid chromium to treat and maintain the sheen of chrome layer. But if there is no special liquid chrome, can use liquid dish soap to remove oil stains on the chrome layer.
If there is asphalt stain, wipe with a liquid tar remover, can also use eucalyptus oil, but must be immediately rinsed with car shampoo so as not to damage the paint. Also avoid using gasoline as it can damage the paint.
After that, dry with a chamois or micro fiber cloth. Use a special wax to the chrome surface, or a cheaper sprinkle powder on chrome plated surfaces and rub with a clean cloth to maintain the sheen.
For tires, flush with clean water and scrubbed to remove dirt. After that use the tires just enough polish to restore the black color like new.
