Where is the production location of the Wuling Capa CVT transmission?

The CVT transmission manufacturer for the Wuling Capa is SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. The company was established on November 18, 2002, and was jointly funded by three companies: SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, General Motors Company (USA), and Guangxi Automobile Group Co., Ltd. The Wuling Capa CVT transmission uses a continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears). Unlike traditional transmissions with fixed gear ratios, a CVT does not have specific gear positions. While its operation is similar to an automatic transmission, the ratio changes continuously rather than through stepped shifts, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For daily use of the Wuling Capa CVT transmission, please note the following precautions: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to replace the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and potential shock when re-engaging the D (Drive) gear. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in D mode. Automatic transmissions may overheat under high loads or upshift prematurely, reducing 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 the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in N (Neutral) rather than towing it directly with a rope or other methods.
