What transmission does the Roewe 350 automatic use?
1 Answers
The Roewe 350 automatic uses an Aisin transmission. Aisin, established in 1969, is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and manufacturing of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin holds the highest market share globally. The Roewe 350 automatic is equipped with Aisin's 4-speed transmission. Although the structure of Aisin's 4-speed automatic transmission is relatively simple, it offers high-quality shifting performance and is also fuel-efficient. A clever feature of this transmission is that it only has mechanical lock-up devices in 3rd and 4th gears, while 1st and 2nd gears do not. This design simplifies the mechanical structure, reduces costs, and makes it easier to achieve smooth gear shifts. When using the Roewe 350 automatic transmission, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Although many modern vehicles claim to have maintenance-free transmission oil, 'maintenance-free' does not mean it never needs changing. Prolonged use without changing the oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for a 'smooth' operation, shift into the opposite gear before the vehicle has fully stopped. This practice can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep hills in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic vehicles can overheat due to high load or struggle with insufficient power from premature upshifts. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the tow platform while the transmission is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or towing the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
