TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
Mechanism Operation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
. When the temperature of the transmission is high, the decreased friction from idling and driving at low speeds can cause rattling, shaking
and jarring noises. When the temperature of the transmission decreases, the noise will lessen.
. Clattering noises may be heard while shifting.
Multiple disc wet clutch
. When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the &
R
or &
A
↔&
M
position, be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal. The vehicle may
slowly move if the brake pedal is not depressed.
. Never depress the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time could
cause:
— The engine to stall
— The clutch to overheat
— Transmission damage
. To prevent stalling or transmission damage, start in first gear. The &
M
position second gear can be used to start moving the vehicle only
when reduced torque is necessary on snowy roads or extremely slippery surfaces.
. When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, do not hold the vehicle in place by depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so may cause the clutch
to overheat and result in transmission damage. Use the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Electronic oil pressure
control
The following conditions are caused due to changes in fluid viscosity as a result of temperature changes.
. When the transmission fluid is extremely cold or extremely hot, the transmission may feel like it is slipping during shifts or there may be hard
shifts. This is normal. Transmission shifting should return to normal when the transmission fluid returns to normal operating temperatures.
. When the transmission fluid temperature is extremely cold, the time required to run a system check may increase. During the system check,
the shift lever must stay in the
&
P
position. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking
noises during the transmission systems check.
Changing modes
. The higher shift speeds in the &
M
position may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting.
. Quick shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the &
M
position is available when the engine speed is high. However, the transmission
may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low.
Gear clearances
Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to achieve smooth gear rotation and steady tooth surface lubrication under the high-load driving
condition. However, this causes a rattling noise.
