What brand is the Beijing Hyundai Elantra's transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission manufacturer used in the Elantra is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, affiliated with the Toyota Group of Japan, and holds a very high market share in the transmission field. The Elantra's transmission uses a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic with manual shift mode, and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The automatic with manual shift mode is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. A dry dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid. Dual-clutch transmissions offer the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, while also providing uninterrupted power output. When using the Elantra's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While driving a manual transmission vehicle, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, causing a lack of power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit the gear to a lower speed or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in N (Neutral) mode. Do not use a tow rope or similar method to directly tow the vehicle.
