What does the Magotan transmission look like?
1 Answers
The Magotan uses a transmission brand from Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (VWATD) is the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Group China. Established on September 24, 2007, the company is located in Dalian and primarily produces the latest dual-clutch automatic transmissions. The Magotan transmission employs a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission type. A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. For the Magotan's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid 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 can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a shock when shifting back to D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D/R mode before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or 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 the vehicle onto the platform while in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.
