What brand is the Excelle transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission brand of the Excelle is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Excelle manual transmission uses a 5-speed manual, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). A continuously variable transmission does not have specific gears; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps like an automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and continuous power delivery. When using the Excelle's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for an extended period. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving a manual transmission, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmissions, this can cause overheating and create 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. Some drivers shift into reverse while the car is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears 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 it onto the platform while in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly.
