What brand is Toyota's transmission?

[KennedyFitz]

Toyota's transmission brand is Aisin. Founded in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the world's highest market share. Toyota vehicles use a variety of transmissions including 10-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), 6-speed manual transmission, 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and electronic continuously variable transmission (e-CVT). The 6-speed manual transmission refers to a manual gearbox with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The continuously variable transmission does not have specific gear positions. While its operation is similar to an automatic transmission, the ratio changes differ from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission, being continuous instead, thus providing smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For Toyota transmissions in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between fluid changes can damage internal components such as bearings and housings. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles coast in neutral, doing so with automatic transmissions can cause overheating and create harsh engagement when shifting back to Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive or Reverse before coming to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt smooth gear changes by shifting into opposite gears while still moving, which causes significant gear wear and may lead to gear grinding failures over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive mode. Automatic vehicles often overheat under heavy load or may upshift prematurely during steep climbs, resulting in insufficient power. In such situations, use manual mode to maintain lower gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow over long distances. When an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N) position. Never use tow ropes or have the vehicle towed while in gear.
