What brand is the Binyue transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Geely Binyue is Geely's own. In 2009, Geely swiftly acquired Australia's DSI, the world's second-largest automatic transmission manufacturer, and established a factory in Xiangtan, Hunan, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 automatic transmissions and engines. The Geely Binyue is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. It is based on manual transmission technology but functions as an automatic transmission, combining the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while providing uninterrupted power output. For daily use of the Binyue's transmission, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmission vehicles, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase "smooth" operation, but this severely damages transmission gears and can lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high loads or shift too early, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) rather than towing it directly with a rope or other means.
