It is important to keep the engine cooled off. Now we will explain how this is done.
Coolant (Anti-freeze) vs. water
Coolant is liquid that maintains a constant temperature and will neither heat up too high nor get too cold and freeze. It is stored in the radiator. Many people use a mixture of water and coolant and some only water. We recommend using coolant only as water will rust the inside of your engine (which is made of cast iron), causing deterioration in the engine itself and putting rust into the entire cooling system. Only use water in an emergency, such as a leak, so you are not stuck on the roadside. Then flush out your radiator immediately and replace the water with pure coolant, after any appropriate repairs.
The clutch pad gets worn after a period of time and you must have the pad to grip the gears of the gear-box. The length of time that the clutch will last without having to be replaced depends on how you use it.
It is possible to adjust most clutches and some are even self-adjusting. If the gear starts to engage with the clutch pedal closer to the floor of the car than usual, the clutch probably needs adjusting.
Brakes are really just clamps. The wheels of the car are moving at high speed driving the car forward. The wheels are connected to the axles which revolve, turning the wheels. The brake disc or drum (these are just types of clamps) attaches to the axle. When you apply the brakes by stepping on the brake pedal you are applying a clamp to the disc or drum that, in effect, is holding the axle to keep it from turning. This of course slows down the rate at which the wheels are turning, eventually bringing them to a halt.
Two plates made from different types of metal are placed in an acid solution. Due to the nature of the metals, when they come into contact with the acid there is a chemical reaction.
As a result of this reaction electricity is released. Electricity is a flow of electrons. Electrons are simply particles that contain a type of energy (or electrical charge) that has been named "negative charge." This is just an agreed upon name. This type of electrical energy flow is used for a multitude of household and industrial purposes, running lights, machinery, and so forth.
An automatic transmission consists of a set of gears, clutches, and valves housed together in one sealed unit. Usually there are three gears, sometimes a fourth for "over-drive." These are set up so that the gears will shift up or down on a pre-set basis.
There are three factors that determine when the automatic transmission will shift up or down.
1. Road speed. A special type of gear called a "governor" monitors the road speed of the car. When this governor registers a pre-set speed the transmission will shift up to the next gear.
