3 Answers
Wuling National VI transmission should be replaced if there is abnormal noise. Here is some relevant information about Wuling: Introduction to Wuling: The Wuling automobile brand was established in 1985, embodying the spirit of "hard work and self-improvement," and has now become one of the most valuable brands in China's automotive industry. Company Introduction of Wuling: SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. is a large-scale enterprise jointly established by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group), General Motors Corporation of the United States, and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. Its predecessor was Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd.
I've been driving a Wuling National VI standard truck for two years, mainly for long-distance cargo hauling, and have plenty of experience with transmission noises. If the sound is like clattering or humming, it's likely due to bearing wear or gear issues. The National VI standard added some complex systems, but it's not necessarily a major problem. If the noise is minor and the truck can still run, prioritize checking lubrication or loose screws – fixing these might cost just a few dollars. However, if the noise is severe, accompanied by unstable power or sudden shaking, don't delay; replace the entire transmission component immediately. Otherwise, a roadside breakdown could be dangerous, and repair costs will skyrocket. Wuling trucks are cost-effective, and new parts aren't expensive. I recommend getting a professional diagnosis first and deciding based on their advice rather than guessing yourself. Safety first – my old truck taught me a painful lesson when I ignored a minor noise and ended up spending over 3,000 yuan on a transmission replacement later.
I usually enjoy tinkering with cars and am somewhat familiar with the Wuling National VI models. There are many reasons for transmission noise, such as gear wear, insufficient oil, or electronic control failure. The National VI emission system integrates some smart modules, which can sometimes amplify the noise. Should you replace it? It depends on the severity: minor issues like occasional noise can be fixed with lubrication or part adjustments; loud or continuous rattling may indicate internal component damage, requiring replacement. Replacement costs thousands, but repairs are much cheaper, especially since Wuling parts are easy to find. I suggest a simple test: drive and try accelerating and decelerating—if the noise worsens, it indicates a serious problem, so head to the repair shop immediately. Don’t wait for a small issue to become big; prolonged noise can affect the engine, making repairs even more expensive.
