Introduction: In this article, we will explain: What kind of transmission does Kia use? Which Kia models have transmission problems? Does Kia have a DCT transmission? Why choose USA Auto Parts to buy DCT transmissions?
Kia brand cars are popular for their stylish looks, practicality, and reasonably good price tags. Now that there are numerous models and features, it’s easy to get lost in the terms and conditions without realizing that there is a drivetrain hiding under the hood. The following is a complete Kia drivetrain guide provided by USA Auto Parts that investigates Kia drivetrain types and issues while outlining why USA Auto Parts is the go-to source for a used DCT drivetrain.
Kia offers different types of drivetrains depending on customers’ requirements or preferences for fuel efficiency.
- Automatic Transmission: This classic drivetrain is smooth changing, and easy to use, which is why it is still in demand. Kia has a conventional automatic drivetrain and includes an automatic drivetrain with several gears (usually four, six, or eight) according to the model and the year of manufacture.
- Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Conveying the same feel as an automatic drivetrain, CVTs provide a smooth and continuous gear ratio, unlike gear shifts. This leads to a smooth flow of power and sometimes enhanced torque or fuel efficiency.
- Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): Focusing on the improved driving sensation, DCTs engage two clutches by selecting the next gear in advance and shifting faster than the automatic drivetrain.
Which Kia models have transmission problems?
- Automated Manual Transmission (AMT): This provides the handling of a manual car and automatic operation of the clutch.
- Manual Transmission: Manual drivetrain is less frequently used in modern cars; however, Kia has incorporated it in some of their models.
Does Kia have a DCT transmission?
All cars have potential issues, and Kia drivetrain are not an exception, although in general, the Kia brand is known to have rather reliable drivetrain. undefined
- Slipping or Jerking: This can point to worn clutch plates, low levels of the transmission fluid, or trouble with a torque converter.
- Delayed Gear Changes: This could be because the solenoid is bad, possibly the sensor is bad, or the transmission fluid is dirty.
- Grinding noises: In most cases, this leads to worn gear synchronizers or bearings that should be remedied by a professional.
