Is the Tiggo 5x Manual Transmission an Aisin Gearbox?
2 Answers
The Tiggo 5x manual transmission is an Aisin gearbox. Here is an introduction to the Aisin gearbox: 1. The Aisin manual transmission is a world-class 6-speed manual gearbox known for its excellent shift feel and efficient power transmission. It utilizes CAE technology to optimize the housing shape and eliminate the shift controller cover for weight reduction, and adopts a 2-piece housing (traditionally 3-piece) for compactness. 2. This manual transmission is equipped with an oil separator to reduce oil stirring resistance and improve power transmission efficiency. Through an efficient shift layout, it reduces shift effort, achieving a light and smooth shifting feel.
The manual transmission in the Tiggo 5x is indeed not an Aisin product. Having driven manual transmission vehicles for over a decade, I've specifically researched this issue. Chery equips this model with its self-developed 5MT transmission, which offers reasonable cost control. Aisin manual transmissions are typically used in Japanese cars like Toyota and come at a significantly higher price. In fact, manual transmissions have relatively simple structures, and domestic technology has become quite mature. My Tiggo 5x has covered over 30,000 kilometers, and the gear shifts remain smooth with no grinding or popping out of gear. It's perfectly adequate for daily driving, with short shift throws and a moderately weighted clutch. If I had to point out a flaw, the second gear can occasionally feel notchy when the car is cold, but it smooths out after driving a couple of kilometers. For salaried workers, this transmission is inexpensive to maintain - a gear oil change costs just 200 yuan. However, I'd like to remind new owners that prolonged driving with the clutch partially engaged will accelerate wear on the transmission bearings.
