The automatic transmission, particularly in older CVT o r 4-speed auto models of Swift, has a mixed reputation in Pakistan:

Overheating: Due to heavy traffic o r climbing steep roads without proper cooling.

Delayed Gear Shifting: Sometimes caused by dirty transmission fluid o r worn-out solenoids.

Jerky Movement: Indicates low transmission fluid o r internal wear.

Lack of Maintenance: Many users ignore changing ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid which leads to serious damage.
Routine maintenance like timely fluid replacement and not over-revving the engine can help maintain performance. Its also wise to avoid aggressive driving in stop-and-go traffic with automatics.
