What are the issues with Wuling's 6-speed manual transmission?
2 Answers
There are two common issues with Wuling's 6-speed manual transmission: one is transmission computer failure, and the other is mechanical failure of the transmission. Before repair, it is crucial to accurately determine whether the issue is mechanical or computer-related to identify the root cause and resolve the problem completely. Below are the details: 1. Computer failure: After reaching a mileage of 150,000 kilometers, computer failures are more likely to occur. Repairing the transmission computer can resolve this issue. 2. Mechanical failure: Repairing or replacing internal mechanical components can address mechanical failures.
I drove a Wuling with a 6-speed manual transmission for several years, and the main issues I noticed were rough shifting and unusual noises. In city traffic jams, the gear changes were particularly stiff, sometimes requiring forceful lever pushes as if the gears weren't properly aligned. This might be related to aging synchronizers or insufficient fluid, especially becoming more apparent after high mileage. In my case, the transmission would overheat after long trips, making shifts even harder, and inspection later revealed low fluid levels. I recommend regularly checking transmission fluid quality, changing to manufacturer-recommended fluid every 8,000 kilometers, and avoiding aggressive acceleration with hard shifts. Long-term neglect could lead to gear damage or costlier repairs. With Wuling vehicles, diligent maintenance is key to keeping the driving smooth.
