What is the actual lifespan of the Equinox's 6AT transmission?
1 Answers
6AT transmissions have a long lifespan and can last up to 500,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: AT Transmission: Also known as automatic transmission, it consists of an automatic gearbox, torque converter, planetary gear transmission, and control mechanism. It can automatically adjust torque based on road conditions, allowing drivers to focus on traffic without being distracted by gear shifting. Automatic Transmission Maintenance: Requires cleaning and servicing approximately every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. Issues such as transmission slippage, high coolant temperature, slow shifting, or system leaks also necessitate cleaning and maintenance. Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve gear shifting through hydraulic drive and planetary gear combinations, typically composed of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism.
