Which six-speed transmission is used in the Camry?
1 Answers
It is a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Below are the relevant details: 1. The 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, featuring an S gear, has rapid shifting capability. The six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode used in the seventh-generation Camry has a more closely spaced gear ratio compared to the older Camry transmission, resulting in smoother shifts, more direct acceleration performance, and improved fuel economy. 2. Many new Camry customers, upon seeing the "S" gear indicator on the transmission, mistakenly believe it to be a "manual mode." However, this is not the case. The S gear, or Sport mode, is an automatic mode where shift timing is delayed to enhance engine torque, allowing for quicker acceleration from a standstill. This mode is ideal for drivers who are not accustomed to using manual mode but still desire better performance, offering a faster and more convenient driving experience. In the Camry, the "S" gear activates Sport mode, providing customers with an enhanced driving experience.
