What transmission does the Nissan GTR use?
2 Answers
The Nissan GTR uses a 6-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. Main functions of the transmission: Under the condition that the engine speed and torque remain unchanged, change the driving force and speed of the vehicle (shifting); enable the vehicle to drive in reverse (direction change); allow the engine to stop without stalling (neutral gear). According to the transmission form, gear-type transmissions can be divided into three types: two-shaft, three-shaft, and combined. Transmission maintenance methods: Regularly check the fluid level in the transmission to ensure it remains within the specified range, and replenish it in time based on actual working conditions. When replenishing, ensure that the newly added fluid is of the same type. When changing the fluid, release the old fluid while the transmission is operating, and clean it promptly. Regularly inspect the working condition of the transmission gears to ensure optimal meshing between the gears, clean them in time, and ensure perfect coordination between the gears and the shaft.
Nissan's GT-R has always been equipped with an exceptionally impressive dual-clutch transmission, and the latest model retains this configuration. This 6-speed transmission, codenamed GR6, is a perfect match for its 3.8T V6 engine. The most remarkable feature is that this system can withstand 2000 Nm of torque, which was truly cutting-edge technology when the R35 was first launched. What amazed me the most during the test drive was the shift speed, especially in manual mode using the steering wheel paddles—shifts were as quick as a knife cutting through tofu. However, in daily driving, there is still a slight jerkiness at low speeds, as some smoothness was sacrificed for performance. Enthusiasts love tweaking its transmission software to squeeze out even faster shift speeds.
