The transmission of the Mazda 8 is manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and production of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin holds the highest global market share. The Mazda 8 is equipped with a 5-speed automatic manual transmission. The automatic manual transmission features eight forward gears. Essentially, an automatic manual transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with the added functionality of manual shifting. The purpose of this design is to enhance the driving experience for automatic transmission vehicles. When using the Mazda 8's 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 lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this practice can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for a 'smooth' operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which 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) mode. When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high loads or struggle with insufficient power due to premature upshifts. In such cases, using the manual mode to lock in lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) mode, rather than being towed directly with a tow rope or similar method.
