What Transmission Does the Emgrand Manual Version Use?
1 Answers
The manual transmission used in the Emgrand is manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and production of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the top global market share in this sector. The Emgrand employs a 5-speed manual transmission. A manual transmission, also referred to as a manual gearbox or MT, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever, altering the gear engagement inside the transmission to change the gear ratio and achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch pedal is depressed. When using the Emgrand's manual transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Avoid prolonged intervals between transmission oil changes. Extended periods without oil changes can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Refrain from coasting in neutral for extended periods. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase smooth operation, but this practice can severely damage transmission gears, leading to issues like gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high loads or struggle due to premature upshifting on steep inclines. 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, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Towing with a rope or dragging the vehicle directly is not recommended.
