Where is the six-speed AT transmission of the Trumpchi Gs3 produced?
2 Answers
The six-speed AT transmission of the Trumpchi Gs3 is produced in Japan. Aisin, established in 1969, is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The transmission equipped in the Trumpchi GS3 is the third-generation 6AT automatic manual transmission from Aisin. The 6AT automatic manual transmission consists of a hydraulic torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Vehicles with automatic transmissions can automatically adjust speed and torque based on road conditions, allowing drivers to focus entirely on road traffic without being distracted by gear shifting. For the six-speed AT transmission of the Trumpchi Gs3, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for an extended period. Although many models now feature maintenance-free transmission oil, maintenance-free does not mean no replacement. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal bearings, casings, and other components. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat, and shifting back into D gear may produce a certain impact. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate their smooth operation, shift directly into reverse gear before the vehicle stops completely. This can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high loads or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, manual mode can be used to limit low-speed gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, a flatbed tow truck should be used to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in N gear. Towing ropes or direct towing by another vehicle should not be used.
I'm particularly interested in cars, especially domestic automotive technology. The 6AT transmission used in the Trumpchi GS3 adopts Aisin's technology from Japan, and it's directly manufactured in Japan. Aisin is quite reliable in the transmission field, offering better smoothness and durability than many competitors. GAC chose it for stability, after all, the GS3 is positioned as a family SUV, and a transmission that's too delicate just won't do. However, the new GS3 model has switched from the 6AT to a dual-clutch transmission. If you come across an older automatic version on the used car market, it's highly likely to have the Japan-made transmission.
