What transmission does the Volkswagen Golf use?

[LaSabrina]

The transmission used in the Volkswagen Golf is manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the top global market share in the automotive automatic transmission sector. The Volkswagen Golf utilizes a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Wet dual-clutch transmissions refer to those where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. When using the Volkswagen Golf's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this 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 smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, using manual mode to lock in lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N). Towing with a rope or dragging the vehicle directly should be avoided.
