Which generation is the Jetta VS5 transmission?
1 Answers
Jetta VS5 is equipped with Aisin's third-generation 6-speed transmission, making it the first Volkswagen model to feature the 1.4T+6AT powertrain combination. Founded in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the highest market share in the global automotive automatic transmission sector. The Jetta VS5 utilizes the Aisin AQ250, a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. This transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes, integrating the advantages of both to minimize power loss in the transmission system. Essentially, it remains an automatic transmission but offers enhanced driving pleasure compared to conventional automatics by allowing manual gear selection and RPM control. When using the Jetta VS5's transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals can damage internal components like bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While some experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and harsh engagement when shifting back to Drive. Never shift into Drive or Reverse before coming to a complete stop. Premature gear engagement can severely damage transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Refrain from frequently climbing steep hills in Drive mode. Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, causing power loss. Use manual mode to maintain lower gears or engage Sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow long distances improperly. For automatic transmission vehicles requiring towing, use a flatbed trailer with the transmission in Neutral. Never tow with a rope or with drive wheels on the ground.
