What Transmission Does the Kuga Use?
1 Answers
The Kuga utilizes a transmission co-developed by Ford and General Motors, known for its high reliability. General Motors was founded on September 16, 1908, and globally manufactures and sells vehicles under brands such as Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Wuling, Baojun, and Holden, among others. The Kuga is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Essentially, an automatic manual transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission enhanced with manual shifting capabilities, designed to add driving pleasure to automatic vehicles. When using the Kuga's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals can damage internal components like bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While manual drivers often coast in neutral to save fuel, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and jerky shifts when re-engaging Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Aggressive gear changes while moving can severely damage transmission gears, leading to long-term issues like gear grinding. Refrain from frequently climbing steep hills in Drive (D) mode. Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, causing power loss. Use manual mode to lock lower gears or engage Sport mode for protection. Do not tow the vehicle long distances. In case of breakdowns, always use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Towing via ropes or with driven wheels on the ground is prohibited.
