What brand is the Tiggo 8 transmission?
1 Answers
The Tiggo 8 transmission is a product jointly developed by Chery and Getrag. Getrag Transmission System Co., Ltd. is a transmission technology product and service provider jointly established by the German Getrag Group and Jiangling Motors Group. It was officially put into operation in Nanchang, Jiangxi in January 2007. The company mainly develops mid-to-high-end transmission products and explores the high-end light-duty vehicle, commercial vehicle, and passenger car markets. The Tiggo 8 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has seven forward gears and is also known as a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, using a wet clutch. The characteristics of a wet dual-clutch transmission include two sets of multi-plate clutches (one large and one small) installed coaxially together, both housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil. Therefore, the wet clutch structure offers better adjustment capabilities and higher thermal tolerance, enabling it to transmit relatively large torque. When using the Tiggo 8 transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long periods. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat, and shifting back into Drive (D) may create a noticeable jolt. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming to demonstrate smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving. This can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or upshift too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, 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 an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in Neutral (N). Do not use tow ropes or other methods to directly drag the vehicle.
