Is the Transmission of Mazda Models Made by Aisin?
1 Answers
Mazda models do not use Aisin brand transmissions; they are independently developed and designed by Mazda. The Mazda 6AT transmission, internally codenamed FW6A-EL (transverse 6AT) within Mazda, is a transmission independently developed, designed, and manufactured by Mazda. Relevant information about the Mazda 6AT transmission is as follows: 1. The overall structural design of the Mazda 6AT transmission is very distinctive. It uses a flat torque converter produced by Exedy, and even with the integration of three planetary gear sets, three brakes, and a complete hydraulic brake system inside the transmission, it still ensures radial controllability of the transmission's size. 2. The Mazda 6AT transmission adopts a transmission scheme composed of Simpson-type planetary gears, combined with three brakes and two clutches to form a three-degree-of-freedom planetary structure, achieving six forward gears through a split-linked configuration.
