What transmission does the Sylphy Classic use?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Sylphy Classic is JATCO. JATCO is the world's third-largest automatic transmission designer and manufacturer. The Sylphy Classic manual transmission uses a 5-speed manual, while the automatic transmission uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The continuously variable transmission does not have specific fixed gears. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes differ from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission—it is continuous, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. When using the Sylphy Classic's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. Many experienced drivers tend to coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmissions, this can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase "smooth" operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or upshift too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, 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 an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck and move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Do not use a tow rope or tow the vehicle directly.
