What brand is the transmission of the Changan CS75Plus?
1 Answers
The transmission of the Changan CS75Plus is from Aisin. Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the top market share in the transmission field globally. The Changan CS75 comes with two powertrains: 1.5T and 1.8T, while the CS75Plus is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The 1.5T is paired with an Aisin 6AT, and the 2.0T is matched with an Aisin 8AT, both used in the same model. The Aisin 6AT transmission utilizes two sets of gear trains, reducing fuel consumption during upshifts, and also aids in torque converter lock-up. It employs an energy-saving valve. The Aisin 6AT features a long-stroke damper, effectively suppressing vibrations during driving. The torque converter is equipped with a heat exchanger connected to the engine cooling system, using circulating coolant to rapidly cool the transmission oil. The Aisin 8AT transmission adds a control clutch to the original Lepelletier mechanism and replaces one of the standard planetary gearsets with an internal-external meshing planetary gearset to achieve eight gears. It uses four sets of friction clutches, two sets of brakes, and three innovative planetary gear sets. From first to eighth gear, including reverse, two sets of shifting mechanisms are engaged. For the CS75Plus transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Although many models now use maintenance-free transmission oil, 'maintenance-free' does not mean it never needs replacement. Prolonged intervals can damage internal bearings and housing components. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While manual transmission drivers often coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating. Re-engaging D gear afterward may cause jolts. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to demonstrate 'smooth' operation, but this severely damages transmission gears and can lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in D gear. Automatic vehicles can overheat under high load or shift too early, causing poor climbing performance. Use manual mode to lock in low gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow long distances. If an automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in N gear. Never use tow ropes for direct dragging.
