With winter approaching, car owners perform necessary measures to prepare their cars for cold weather and icy roads. However, some inexperienced owners of cars equipped with automatic transmissions frequently do not know how cold weather may affect transmission units and frequently disregard such a simple procedure as a transmission warm-up. In this article, we will consider how ignoring of the automatic transmission warm-up may affect your vehicle.

Jatco Ltd, a well-known Japanese provider of transmission solutions, has officially launched the manufacturing of CVT transmissions at its second specialized plant in Suzhou, China. This important event was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) have been around for quite a long time, but for some drivers this type of transmission still remains a mystery. CVT transmissions have certain design peculiarities, which have a significant impact on rules of operation of these units. In this article, we will consider the main aspects of driving CVT-equipped cars and learn how to avoid early visits to repair shops.

Despite the fact that the CVT market has been growing over the last years, Jatco is preparing itself for electrified vehicles. At the Shanghai auto show the company has showcased new e-Axle powertrain units for future EVs: a coaxial type and a 3-axis type.

JATCO Ltd has designed a new CVT solution for small cars, named as the CVT-S (JF021E).

Today, many manufacturers equip their cars with continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). This transmission solution provides smooth change of the gear ratio parameter. Thanks to this peculiarity, CVTs have high efficiency and ensure maximum comfort while driving.

As the car business gains momentum all over the world, car manufacturers try to find new ways to win in the selling race. For example, American companies Ford and GM not long ago cooperated closely on development of automatic gearboxes. And recently it has transpired that Japanese carmakers plan to follow the lead with the purpose of creating their own innovative gearbox solution.

The representatives of the Japanese company Jatco reported that its Chinese production branch JATCO Guangzhou has recently released the 5-th million CVT. The Chinese subsidiary started production of cumulative CVTs in 2009.

Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.

This article contains the information about the most popular automatic transmissions. We will review the most common problems encountered in automatic transmissions, present the most reliable gearboxes and warn about troublesome transmission solutions. Moreover, descriptions of transmissions are supplemented by images and different videos containing some general information on transmissions and their components, typical problems and repair tips.
