What brand is the Edge's transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission of the Edge is manufactured by Ford, produced independently by Ford. The model of the Ford Edge transmission (8AT) is 8F35, equipped in the 2020 model year, and installed in vehicles such as the Ford Edge, Ford Taurus, and Ford Focus. Below are the characteristics of the Edge transmission: 1. Reduced size: Generally, the more gears a transmission has, the larger its size. However, the 8AT transmission equipped in the Edge breaks the norm by optimizing the size of other components to offset the increased volume. 2. Improved power: The 8AT transmission adds a set of planetary gears and two sets of clutches internally, effectively enhancing driving power. 3. Enhanced smoothness: The 8AT transmission technically borrows the shift-by-shift strategy of the 6AT, improving smoothness and responsiveness during gear shifts. 4. Upgraded torque converter: The 8AT transmission's torque converter has a longer stroke, allowing it to lock directly at high speeds to increase transmission efficiency, thereby saving more fuel at high speeds.
