What transmission does the Sylphy Classic use?
1 Answers
The manufacturer of the Sylphy Classic's transmission is Jatco. Jatco is the world's third-largest design and production group for automatic transmissions, with Nissan being its representative brand. Initially, Jatco was just a division producing transmissions for Nissan before becoming an independent company. The Sylphy Classic manual version is equipped with a manual transmission, while the automatic version features a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). A CVT does not have specific gears; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission but differs in that the gear ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. When using the Sylphy Classic's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between oil changes can damage internal components like bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While manual transmission drivers often coast in neutral to save fuel, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift prematurely to demonstrate 'smooth' driving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift too early, reducing climbing power. 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 the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly, as this can damage the transmission.
