What transmission does the GM6 use?
1 Answers
The 1.5T engine in the GM6 is paired with a conventional 6-speed automatic manual transmission. A transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixed or stepped changes in the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. Also known as a gearbox, the transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. When needed, a power take-off can be added. Transmissions are classified in two ways: by the method of gear ratio change and by the type of control. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the gear ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to constantly changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotational direction; 3. To use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifts or power output.
