When should the Jeep Compass gearbox be replaced?
Like the mechanical version, the Gearbox automatic jeep compass has the same lifespan as the SUV itself. However, mechanical parts are subject to wear and tear, which explains the importance of carrying out maintenance at intervals defined by the manufacturers. Failure to follow these frequencies and road conditions may result in irreversible damage that will require you to replace your Jeep Compass transmission. For example, forcing a heavy-duty transmission may cause components to break. Shocks on particularly difficult terrain can also cause severe damage. That's why it's important to pay attention to the condition of your gearbox, as failures will automatically have a serious impact on the performance of the SUV.
There are a few signs that allow you to recognize failures. These include noises that occur when you engage a gear or that persist throughout the entire driving experience. If the gearbox is damaged, your gears could jump out of gear unexpectedly. There's also the possibility that shifting gears may become difficult even if you're fully engaged. In some cases, a leak can cause the gearbox to malfunction. Not being properly lubricated, the components are "stuck", which prevents the fluidity of your gear shifts. Sometimes, an easily recognizable burnt smell comes out of the transmission. In all cases, the symptoms are felt when you are behind the wheel. So pay attention to the behaviour and responsiveness of your SUV.
Simple visual inspections can also reveal problems. This could be a warning light that comes on to alert you, oil traces left on your route, or other unusual signs related to your gearbox.
Any anomaly should lead you to have the transmission system checked. Your safety is at stake!
The different types of Jeep Compass gearboxes
In 2002, the Jeep Compass is presented as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The SUV is an instant sensation. However, it wasn't until 2006 that production began in earnest.
The Gearbox jeep compass 2007 is thus the reference present on the first born of this range. This first generation is produced until 2016, offering the choice between 4×2 and 4×4. It is also offered with two families of mechanical and automatic transmissions.
If you're looking for a Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD 4×4 gearbox for the Limited version, this is most likely a 6-speed mechanical model. By juggling the gears, you'll be able to reach a top speed of 189 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 11 seconds.
If you have a 170-hp Jeep Compass 2.4 VVT Wild Dream, chances are it's equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. For the Jeep Compass 2.4 VVT Limited, the manufacturer offers a choice of a 5-speed mechanical transmission or a 6-speed CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
The second generation is produced from 2016 onwards. Jeep decides to improve the performance of its SUV by revising the transmission system. ECC technology is integrated to transfer engine power to the rear of the vehicle, providing better traction and stability. Jeep Active Drive technology automatically switches from 2WD to 4WD. Whether mechanical or automatic, the transmission on this second-generation model is designed to ensure your vehicle's reliability.
The 4×4 version has a 170 hp 2.0 Multijet engine, which is particularly economical. Its improved performance enables it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds for a maximum speed of 196 km/h. Jeep relies on a 9-speed automatic transmission for this mechanical gem.
The 4×2 version is available in petrol and diesel. The 1.4 MultiAir 4-cylinder petrol engine with 140 hp allows acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds for a top speed of 192 km/h. It is coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 120 hp 1.6 MultiJet engine has a maximum speed of 185 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11 seconds. Once again, Jeep chose a 6-speed manual transmission for the SUV.
Further improvements are announced for 2020. These include the integration of a 130 hp turbocharged gasoline engine backed by a 6-speed mechanical gearbox and a 150 hp version coupled to a dual-clutch automatic transmission. These new engines would be available exclusively in 4×2.
In addition to the year of production, you can refer to the codes to identify the type of gearbox you need. For example, TD, 22 and 4×4 are commonly used for the gearboxes in the 2,200cc Compass produced in 2010, while TD35 is used to identify the gearboxes in the 2,400cc Compass produced in 2007 and 2009.
These notions and details will be of great use to you when replacing the Jeep Compass transmission in your SUV because it's essential to ensure perfect compatibility.
