What Transmission Does the Classic Sylphy Use?
1 Answers
The Classic Sylphy uses a transmission product from Jatco, a subsidiary of Nissan. Jatco is the world's third-largest automatic transmission designer and manufacturer, established in 1943, with operations spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The Classic Sylphy employs a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission. A transmission that changes vehicle speed through different gear ratios is called a fixed gear ratio transmission, which is also a type of electric vehicle transmission. This design allows power to be directly transmitted from the motor to the transmission, which then delivers power straight to the two wheels, reducing power loss. It also offers advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacturing, and low production costs. When using the Classic Sylphy's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components like bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. Many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmissions, this can cause overheating and produce a noticeable shock when shifting back into Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift directly into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or other failures over time. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D) mode. Automatic transmission vehicles often overheat under high loads or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. 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 move it onto the platform while the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or towing the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
