Which Country is the Getrag Transmission From?

Getrag transmissions are from Germany, but the company has established branches in China. Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission System Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Germany's Getrag Group and Jiangling Motors Group, serving as a provider of transmission technology products and services. It officially commenced operations in January 2007 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Getrag transmissions are used in various domestic vehicle models, such as the Haval M6, which employs either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the engine's speed and torque delivered to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve different levels of traction and speed under various conditions like starting, climbing hills, turning, and accelerating. For daily use of Getrag transmissions, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to issues like gear grinding over time. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Avoid long-distance towing. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to transport it in Neutral (N) rather than towing it directly with a rope or another vehicle.
