What is the origin of the Wuling Capa CVT transmission?

[StJayce]

The manufacturer of the Wuling Capa CVT transmission is SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. The company was established on November 18, 2002, and was jointly funded by three companies: SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, General Motors Company of the United States, and Guangxi Automobile Group Co., Ltd. The Wuling Capa CVT transmission uses a continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears). Unlike traditional transmissions, a CVT does not have fixed gear ratios. It operates similarly to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. When using the Wuling Capa CVT transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged use of old transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift gears prematurely to showcase 'smooth' driving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to gear grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower 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 transport it in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly, as this can damage the transmission.
