What brand is the transmission in the 2016 Elantra?

[LaStephanie]

The 2016 Elantra uses a transmission manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and manufacturing of automotive automatic transmissions. As part of the Toyota Group in Japan, it holds a significant market share in the transmission sector. The 2016 Elantra is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The manual transmission (MT), also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear ratio inside the transmission. The automatic transmission with manual mode is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting capability, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. The dry dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch system where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid. It combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission and provides uninterrupted power output. When using the transmission in the 2016 Elantra, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for extended periods. Prolonged use of old transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in 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 has come to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt to showcase smooth operation by shifting into reverse while still moving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic vehicles may overheat under heavy load or struggle to climb due to premature upshifting. 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 vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to transport it in Neutral (N) rather than towing it directly with a rope or other means.
