Geartronic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geartronic is Volvo Cars' name for its manumatic transmission, similar to Porsche's Tiptronic®. It is available in 5 and 6 speed models, and is controlled by a microprocessor. Manual shifting is allowed with the gear stick in the manual mode. The gear stick can also be used just like any other automatic gearbox, where the transmission will shift automatically.

Geartronic is offered on Volvo vehicles with engine displacements of 2.4 liters or greater. Geartronic transmissions are manufactured in Japan by Aisin AW. They require the use of automatic transmission fluid that meets the JWS 3309 specification.
