What transmission does the Fengyun 2 use?
3 Answers
Fengyun 2 is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. Below are the detailed specifications of Fengyun 2: 1. Fengyun 2 is powered by a 1.5L-L4 naturally aspirated engine model ACTECO-SQR477F, with a maximum horsepower of 109PS, maximum power of 80kw, maximum torque of 140Nm, maximum power speed of 6000rpm, and maximum torque speed of 4500rpm. This engine adopts multi-point injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. 2. Fengyun 2 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. Additional information: A manual transmission (abbreviated as MT), also known as a mechanical transmission, requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever (commonly known as the gear stick) to change the gear engagement position and transmission ratio inside the gearbox, thereby achieving the purpose of shifting gears.
I drive this Fengyun 2 with a manual transmission, and the 5MT gearbox works quite smoothly. Veteran drivers know this gearbox is rugged and durable, with a clear clutch engagement point during shifting. The gear shifts might feel a bit stiff at first, but once you get used to it, it's quite engaging. Last time I went mountain driving, shifting to third gear for uphill climbs provided plenty of power without any lag—the gear ratio is well-matched. Driving this car is all about the manual transmission experience. Although automatic transmissions are common in new cars nowadays, for an older car like the Fengyun 2, the manual gearbox actually enhances the mechanical connection. Plus, repairs are super cheap—replacing the clutch three-piece set costs just a few hundred bucks. Of course, the downside is dealing with leg fatigue from constant clutch use in traffic jams.
Repairing the Fengyun 2 transmission is quite common. Most of these models are equipped with a 5MT manual transmission, which has a very simple structure. I often encounter owners complaining about difficulty shifting into first gear when the car is cold—it's usually due to slight wear on the synchronizer and excessive play in the shift cables. Just the other day, I worked on a car where reverse gear was grinding; upon disassembly, I found the shift fork was worn and deformed. The AMT automatic version has even more issues, such as oil leaks in the shift actuator and TCU errors. The manual transmission is really durable—as long as you don't abuse it, it can easily go 200,000 kilometers without a major overhaul. Remember, transmission fluid should be changed no later than every 80,000 kilometers, especially in humid southern regions.
