JF506E

The 5-speed automatic transmission 09A \ 09B (according to Jatco - JF506E classification) was designed in 1999 by Jatco for the European market of FWD cars with engine up to 3.8l. The first budget version of this 5-speed automatic transmission is used in the cars as a reliable and unpretentious alternative to expensive the AW55-50 from Aisin and ZF 5HP19-24.

After several modifications, this transmission has been actively used in Nissan – as RE5F01A and in Mazda as JA5A-EL. Most of all, this transmission is found under the German name 09A \ 09B in VW, Audi and under the name JF506E - in the English Jaguar and Land Rover. American Ford tried to use this transmission for European Mondeo and Galaxy (as 5F31J). The Japanese had been installing this transmission until recently at American assembly plants of Nissan (Altima, Quest) and Mitsubishi (Eclipse, Galant). JF506E is mainly installed on English Jaguar X, Rover, Freelander, less often – on German Golf, Bora, Jetta and even less often on Portugese SEAT Alhambra and AUDI А3.
