Volkswagen Golf Transmission

 

The transmission helps you manage and utilize the power being delivered by the engine better. A car equipped with a powerful engine would not perform well enough if it has a poorly designed transmission system. That is why Volkswagen continues on finding ways to further improve the transmission system of the Volkswagen Golf.

 

The transmission refers to the drivetrain component featuring internal gears that can vary the speed of a vehicle even if the engine is turning at the same rpm. These gear shifting may be done manually or automatically, depending on the type of transmission system your car has. In manual transmission, the gears are shifted by the driver by the act of shifting the gear lever. In automatic transmission, upshifting and downshifting is automatic and does not need driver input, although most automatic transmission types allow the driver to shift manually at a certain point.

 

The Volkswagen Golf is equipped with a standard 5-speed manual transmission. A 4-speed automatic transmission option is available for all Golf trims while a 5-speed automatic transmission is available only for the TDI variants. The sporty R32 trim of the Volkswagen Golf features the 4MOTION'„¢ system that makes use of the 6-speed manual transmission. Whatever transmission system your Volkswagen Golf is presently equipped with, it is guaranteed to perform well, although the transmission system with more gears can offer you exceptionally higher speeds.
