What brand of transmission is used in the Venucia Star?
1 Answers
The transmission used in the Venucia Star is independently developed by Dongfeng Venucia. Dongfeng Venucia is an automobile brand established on September 8, 2010, and serves as the second brand under Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company. The Venucia Star is equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The dual-clutch transmission differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmission technology yet distinct from automatic transmissions, it combines the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while providing uninterrupted power output. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed under different conditions such as starting, climbing hills, turning, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range. For the Venucia Star's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission oil changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can lead to overheating and potential jolts when re-engaging the D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse gear while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in low 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 it onto the tow platform while the vehicle is in N gear. Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.
