Dodge offers a variety of transmission types depending on the model and purpose of the vehicle:
- Manual Transmissions: Found mostly in older models and sports cars like the Dodge Challenger. Great for enthusiasts who want more control over shifting.
- Automatic Transmissions: The bread and butter of Dodge’s lineup, including the Torqueflite series, known for smooth shifting and durability.
- CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission): Used in some Dodge vehicles, like the Caliber, for better fuel efficiency. Not everyone's favorite due to how it feels during acceleration.
- Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): Rare in Dodge vehicles but can be found in high-performance applications like the SRT lineup for faster, smoother shifts.
- Heavy-Duty Transmissions: Found in Ram trucks, especially the 6-speed Aisin or Allison automatics, designed for towing and heavy payloads.
Each type has its pros and cons, but Dodge generally builds them tough. If you're shopping for one, it’s worth matching the transmission type to your driving needs—daily commuting, towing, or track days.
