Transmission Failure: Repair or Replace?
1 Answers
If only the internal gears are damaged, they can be repaired. However, if the control mechanism is damaged, it is recommended to replace the entire transmission directly. Below are specific introductions to different types of transmissions: 1. CVT: CVT is a continuously variable transmission. Its advantages include fuel efficiency, affordable repairs, and smooth operation, but it has weaker acceleration push-back sensation and limited torque handling capacity for high-torque engines. 2. AT: AT is an automatic transmission. Its advantages lie in ease of operation and relaxed driving, as the automatic transmission selects the most suitable gear based on vehicle speed and feedback from the onboard computer. However, it has higher repair costs and fuel consumption. 3. DCT/DSG: Both DCT and DSG are dual-clutch transmissions. They offer fast gear shifting, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption. However, they require high manufacturing precision, resulting in higher costs, and provide relatively poorer comfort.
