What transmission does the 8th-generation Civic use?
1 Answers
The 8th-generation Civic uses an AT transmission. Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. was established on July 1, 1998. Currently, its main production includes seven series with over thirty models: the Avancier SUV series, Accord sedan series, Odyssey multi-purpose vehicle series, Lingpai sedan series, City sedan series, Fit sedan series, and the self-owned brand Everus sedan series. The transmission model used in the Civic is the LL-CVT. The AT transmission, scientifically known as a hydraulic automatic transmission, achieves automatic shifting through hydraulic drive and planetary gear combinations. For the Honda Civic's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not go for extended periods without changing the transmission fluid. Although many models now feature maintenance-free transmission fluid, 'maintenance-free' does not mean it never needs changing. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat, and shifting back into D gear can create a noticeable jolt. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming to demonstrate 'smooth' operation, shift directly into reverse while the vehicle is still moving. This can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other malfunctions. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles can overheat due to high load or shift up 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 over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in N gear. Do not use a tow rope or tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
