What Transmission Does the Buick Envision Use?

[DeCollin]

The Envision transmission is a 9-speed automatic transmission for the 2.5T model, while the 2.0T model uses a DCT dual-clutch transmission. Maintenance for the Envision transmission includes replacing the transmission fluid, performing regular cleaning of the transmission, and checking the condition and sealing of the oil seals. The correct operation methods for the transmission are as follows: 1. Slightly increase the throttle. Before shifting (upshifting), slightly increase the throttle to ensure the engine has sufficient power to maintain speed during the shift. 2. Close the throttle. After slightly increasing the throttle, quickly close it by turning the throttle grip forward and downward to the bottom. 3. Quickly pull the clutch lever. Almost simultaneously with closing the throttle, use the four fingers of your left hand (while keeping the thumb on the handlebar) to pull the clutch lever all the way down, disengaging the clutch as quickly as possible to prepare for shifting. 4. Step on the gear shift pedal. After pulling the clutch lever with your left hand, immediately use the ball or heel of your left foot to press the gear shift pedal to shift to a higher gear. Apply just the right amount of force, ensuring the action is swift and precise—avoid hesitation or multiple presses. 5. Gradually release the clutch lever. After pressing the gear shift pedal with your left heel, immediately release the clutch lever with your left hand to smoothly re-engage the disengaged clutch, transferring engine power to the drivetrain to prepare for increased speed. 6. Increase the throttle. After releasing the clutch lever with your left hand, promptly turn the throttle grip downward and backward with your right hand to open the throttle moderately—avoid excessive or abrupt movements.
