Engine: 1.6L M16A DOHC VVT
Transmission: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) – automatic
📘
Gearbox Details
- Gearbox Type: Jatco CVT (likely JF011E, also known as RE0F10A)
- Drive Type: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
- Gears:
- CVT with simulated 7-speed manual mode (via paddle shifters or gear lever)
- Smooth and stepless gear ratio transitions in automatic mode
-
- Torque Converter: Equipped for smooth take-off and low-speed response
- Cooling: Dedicated transmission oil cooler system for better thermal management
- Shift Logic: Electronically controlled shift logic with adaptive learning
- TCU: Integrated with the ECU for coordinated engine and gearbox performance
⚙️
Performance & Reliability Notes
- Matched to the M16A high-revving 1.6L NA engine for responsive urban and sporty driving
- Offers fuel efficiency and linear acceleration, but lacks the ''kick'' of traditional automatics under hard acceleration
- Common issues (with high mileage or poor maintenance):
- CVT belt wear or slip
- Solenoid or valve body issues
- Overheating if ATF isn’t properly maintained
-
- Recommended ATF: Suzuki CVT Fluid Green 2 or Jatco CVT-specific fluids
- Fluid Change Interval: Every 40,000–60,000 km (shorter if driven hard or in hot climates)
🛠️
Application / Compatibility
- Fits ZC32S Swift Sport (2011–2016) with the M16A engine
- Not interchangeable with the 1.4L Swift CVTs (due to different engine and torque specs)
Let me know if you need wiring, CVT ECU pinouts, or fluid refill steps.
