What transmission does the Jeep Compass 80th Anniversary Edition have?

The Jeep Compass transmission is a ZF-produced automatic manual transmission (AT). Below is a detailed introduction to the Compass transmission: The Compass transmission is a dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions offer low fuel consumption and fast gear shifting. After installation, the vehicle's fuel consumption will be reduced by one level, and acceleration will also be faster by one level. The gear shifting process of a regular automatic transmission is like waiting in line at a hospital, while the gear shifting process of a dual-clutch transmission is like a 4x100-meter relay race. The shifting process is highly efficient, saving both time and fuel. DCTs are divided into wet and dry types. Wet-type transmissions use more transmission fluid, have a larger volume, and can withstand greater torque; dry-type transmissions use less transmission fluid. The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission can be simply understood as one clutch corresponding to odd-numbered gears and the other clutch corresponding to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle is in one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state. As soon as the current gear is disengaged, the next gear can be engaged immediately. Therefore, the shifting speed of a dual-clutch transmission is faster than that of a regular automatic transmission, even a manual transmission.
