What transmission is used in the GAC Trumpchi M8?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the GAC Trumpchi M8 is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the world's largest market share in the automotive automatic transmission sector. The GAC Trumpchi M8 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmission technology yet distinct from traditional automatics, it combines the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while delivering uninterrupted power output. For daily use of the GAC Trumpchi M8's transmission, pay attention to the following points: Do not prolong transmission oil changes indefinitely. While many modern vehicles feature maintenance-free transmission fluid, 'maintenance-free' doesn't mean never needing replacement. Extended periods without oil changes can damage transmission components like bearings and casings. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. Many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles practice coasting in neutral, but for automatic transmissions, this can cause overheating and create shock when re-engaging D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before coming to a complete stop. Some drivers shift directly into reverse while still moving to demonstrate 'smooth' operation, which causes significant gear damage and may lead to gear grinding failures over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in D gear. Automatic vehicles often overheat under high loads or shift prematurely when climbing steep slopes, resulting in insufficient power. Use manual mode to maintain low gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Never tow long distances. When an automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in N gear for transport. Never use tow ropes or direct vehicle-to-vehicle towing.
