Which cars use a 6AT transmission?
1 Answers
Cars equipped with 6AT transmissions are quite common, including models such as the Volkswagen Bora, Volkswagen Lavida, Ford Focus, and Ford Escort. AT stands for automatic transmission, which typically features gear positions like P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. The 6AT designation indicates six forward gears, meaning there are six sets of gear ratios. Maintenance tips are as follows: 1. Regularly check the automatic transmission fluid level. Start the engine and warm up the transmission fluid to approximately 50°C. Then, move the gear selector through each position, pausing for 2 seconds, before placing it in Park. At this point, the fluid level on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it is low, promptly add fluid of the same quality. 2. Follow the recommended transmission fluid replacement interval. Most automatic transmissions require fluid changes every two years or 40,000–60,000 kilometers (refer to the vehicle's manual for specifics). It is advisable to change the fluid 2,000–3,000 kilometers earlier than the recommended interval. 3. Replace the transmission fluid correctly. Use specialized transmission fluid exchange equipment to thoroughly circulate the old fluid while the transmission is running. After completely draining the old fluid, add new transmission fluid to achieve a fluid replacement rate of over 90%, ensuring optimal performance.
