Steps for choosing the right automatic transmission:
1. Determine the required type of automatic transmission:
* Torque converter
* Variable speed (CVT)
* Robotic (AMT)
* Double clutch (DCT)
2. Consider the technical characteristics of the car:
* Engine power and torque
* Drive (front, rear, all-wheel drive)
*Car weight and size
3. Find out the characteristics of automatic transmissions from different manufacturers:
* Number of gears
* Gear ratios
*Control type
* Reliability and durability
4. Determine engine and transmission compatibility:
* The automatic transmission must match the technical characteristics of the engine and transmission.
* Check connection to cardan shafts and control system.
5. Consider cost and availability:
* Different types of automatic transmissions have different prices.
*Check availability of spare parts and qualified repair technicians.
6. Test drive a car with the selected automatic transmission:
* This will allow you to evaluate the operation of the automatic transmission in real conditions.
*Note the smooth shifting, responsiveness and overall performance of the transmission.
Additional tips:
* Consider installing an additional oil cooler to extend the life of the automatic transmission.
* Maintain the automatic transmission regularly, changing the oil and filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
* Avoid sudden acceleration and prolonged towing, which can damage the automatic transmission.
