What needs to be replaced when converting a manual transmission to an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Converting a manual transmission to an automatic transmission requires replacing the transmission, clutch, gear lever, throttle, and other components. Essentially, most parts need to be replaced. Precautions for manual-to-automatic conversion: Check the size of the engine compartment and whether the space is suitable. Of course, if it's the same model of car, the conversion will be easier. Note that converting from manual to automatic transmission may not pass the annual vehicle inspection. Automatic transmissions consume more fuel than manual transmissions. Additionally, if converting to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the vehicle's power may slightly decrease due to the lower transmission efficiency of CVTs. Automatic transmission principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it tends to be.
