What is the general lifespan of a Mazda transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission has a long lifespan, and changing the transmission fluid at 100,000 kilometers can last until the car is scrapped. Transmission fluid is typically replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, as it transmits power, lubricates to reduce friction, and dissipates heat, making it crucial for automatic transmissions. If the transmission fluid is not replaced for an extended period, the oil passages may become clogged or the valve body may be damaged. Transmission: A transmission, also known as a gearbox, is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine. An integrated transmission refers to a hydro-mechanical transmission composed of a torque converter and a geared stepped transmission, while a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a system that can achieve any gear ratio within a certain range. Functions of the Transmission: It changes the gear ratio, increases the torque and speed range of the driving wheels, making it easier to adapt to constantly changing driving conditions. It also allows the engine to operate at higher power and lower fuel consumption.
