What Transmission Does the Haval H7 Use?
1 Answers
The transmission manufacturer for the Haval H7 is Great Wall Motors. Great Wall Motors is a Chinese automotive brand established in 1984, headquartered in Baoding, Hebei Province, primarily producing pickup trucks, SUVs, sedans, and new energy vehicles. The transmission model for the Haval H7 is the 6DCT451, a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is based on a manual transmission but is not an automatic transmission. It combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. For the Haval H7's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay replacing the transmission fluid for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient power. 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 the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or directly towing the vehicle.
