What type of transmission does the Honda Jade use?
1 Answers
The Honda Jade uses transmissions manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and production of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the top global market share in this sector. The Honda Jade is equipped with either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Unlike traditional automatic transmissions with fixed gear ratios, the CVT does not have distinct gear steps. While it operates similarly to an automatic transmission, the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, resulting in smoother and more consistent power delivery. When using the Honda Jade's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged use of old fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create harsh shifts when re-engaging Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving forward to demonstrate "smooth" operation, but this practice severely damages transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D) mode. Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, causing a lack of power during hill climbs. 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, transport it using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow it directly with a rope or similar methods.
