Which transmission is used in the Atenza?
1 Answers
The manufacturer of the Atenza's transmission is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the world's highest market share. The Atenza uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. This transmission has eight forward gears. Essentially, a manual-automatic transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. When using the Atenza's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a noticeable jolt when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into the opposite gear prematurely to demonstrate "smooth" operation, but this severely damages transmission gears and may eventually cause gear grinding failures. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive (D). Automatic vehicles often overheat under heavy load during steep ascents or may upshift prematurely, causing insufficient climbing power. Use manual mode to maintain lower gears or engage sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow long distances. When an automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow directly with ropes or other vehicles.
