What brand is the Tayron's transmission?
1 Answers
The Tayron uses a transmission from Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (VWATD) is the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Group China. Established on September 24, 2007, the company is located in Dalian and primarily produces the latest dual-clutch automatic transmissions. The Tayron is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. When using the Tayron'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. Many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in a lower gear 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 and move the vehicle onto the tow bed while it is in Neutral (N). Do not use a tow rope or tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
