What is the transmission model of the Tayron?
1 Answers
The Tayron uses a transmission provided by Volkswagen. The Volkswagen Group has established 68 wholly-owned and joint venture enterprises worldwide, with business areas covering automotive R&D, production, sales, logistics, services, auto parts, car rental, financial services, auto insurance, banking, IT services, and more. The Tayron is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has seven forward gears and is also known as a 7-speed DCT, utilizing a wet clutch. The characteristic of a wet dual-clutch transmission is that it consists of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, installed coaxially within a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. This wet clutch structure offers better adjustment capabilities and higher thermal tolerance, enabling it to transmit greater torque. When using the Tayron's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. Many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmissions, coasting in neutral can cause overheating and produce a certain impact when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding faults over time. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to limit 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 move it onto the tow platform while the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly.
