Which of the three transmissions - AT, dual-clutch, or CVT - is more durable?
1 Answers
AT transmissions are more durable as they connect to the engine via a torque converter, which internally contains transmission fluid, making it a soft connection. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the gear ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. To enable reverse driving; 3. To interrupt power transmission to the drive wheels when the engine starts, idles, shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output. Maintenance methods for transmissions: 1. Regularly check the fluid level; 2. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting; 3. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 4. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 5. Avoid gear grinding when shifting.
