Is the Ford 8AT Transmission Durable?
1 Answers
Ford's AT transmission was developed in collaboration with General Motors, making the reliability and stability of the Ford 8AT transmission quite impressive. Below are the advantages of the Ford 8AT transmission: 1. Lower Fuel Consumption: The increased number of gears allows for a closer gear ratio, enabling the vehicle to operate in more optimal gears, reducing engine RPM, and thereby lowering fuel consumption. 2. Faster Acceleration: The 8-speed automatic transmission, with its higher overall gear ratio and additional gears, improves acceleration performance. 3. Higher Torque Capacity: The 8-speed automatic transmission combines lightweight components with an innovative gearset design. The addition of two extra gears allows for greater torque transmission while maintaining fewer components and unchanged weight.
