Is the Mondeo Zhisheng 6AT from Aisin?
2 Answers
The Mondeo Zhisheng 6AT is from Aisin. Below is relevant information about the transmission: 1. Main functions: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions. With the engine's rotation direction unchanged, the car can only reverse; using neutral gear interrupts power transmission, enabling the engine to start, shift gears, and facilitating gear changes or power output. 2. Working principle: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
From a car technology enthusiast's perspective, I understand that the Mondeo Zhisheng's 6AT transmission is usually not from Aisin, but rather a Ford-designed or sourced model, such as the 6F35 series. Many people confuse it because it is similar to the Aisin transmissions used in Toyota vehicles, but Ford customized the performance control system to suit European-style driving. This combination was common in mid-production models around 2010, and the manufacturer's label on the side of the transmission can help users confirm. Maintenance advice: Change the oil every 50,000 kilometers to extend its lifespan. Common misconceptions arise from Aisin's widespread reputation, but specific issues should be consulted with professionals or checked against the original factory manual for accuracy. This topic is worth discussing as it involves brand differences and comparisons of actual driving experiences.
