Chrysler 6F24

Transmission general data

The 6F24 transmission model replaced not very successful M11 model in 2013. This transmission has been installed on Dodge Dart, Jeep Compass, Patriot MK since 2013. In terms of design, this transmission is a copy of the A6MF transmission. For integration of this transmission with SsangYong engines, engineers had to modify electrical part of this transmission, including solenoids and the software.

Technical issues and repair guidelines

This transmission has the same typical problems as A6MF1 and A6MF2 transmissions.

The ATF change should be performed after 80 travelling thousand kilometers, but the fluid condition should be controlled every 20 thousand kilometers. In case of aggressive driving manner it may be necessary to change the fluid earlier. The filter for the 6F24 unit is replaced only with removal of the cover and repair/cleaning of the valve body. Specialists recommend to clean the valve body and replace the filter after 120-140 thousand kilometers (when detecting first signs of improper gears shifting) without waiting for wear-out of solenoids. Transmission specialists repair the torque converter if the fluid becomes very hot and gets rapidly contaminated.

Engineers of SsangYong adjusted the valve body operation for 6F24 not very carefully, therefore the torque converter slipping (as in Hyundai) and aggressive driving behavior may lead to the lock-up clutch damage by the torque converter by the end of the car warranty period.
