Transmission general data The 5-speed automatic transmission ZF 5HP24 was designed for powerful 6 and 8-cylinder engines (diesel and 2.4 - 4.5 liter IC-engines) in AWD and RWD high-priced Audi and BMW models (5-th and 7-th series Х5...). It is an intermediate transmission unit between famous 5HP19 and powerful 5HP30. It had been used since 1995 up to 2005.

In most cases, the input drum of the clutch package А is rebuilt rather than replaced with a new one. The whole kit of frictions is replaced in case of burnt oil. In terms of design, the whole package А is considered to be a weak spot. The number of friction components and their diameters were increased several times in the process of manufacture, but still this package is the first to get burnt when transmitted torque reaches the maximum. The second typical problem of this transmission (in addition to the drum А replacement) is the hub bearing (В). Vibrations caused by overloads damage the bearing and then the hub. One of the main causes for this problem is related to fluid shortages. Almost each overhaul (if the overhaul kit is not ordered) involves replacement of seals. Another typical problem for “old” 5HP24 is the one-way clutch F. Old and overheated cars (older than 10 years) often require replacement of wiring in solenoids.Solenoids are the main spare parts among electrical components of this transmission. The torque converter is a separate issue of automatic transmission.The torque converter is considered to be the soft spot for transmissions of powerful vehicles, but in case with this transmission this problem is especially vivid. The 5HP24 unit is the second transmission among the most frequently repaired ZF transmissions. This transmission is also included in the world top 5 transmissions for overhaul coming after 5L40 and Audi 01P/N/M family.

Transmission general data The 4-speed 4T65E was designed on the basis of the 4T60 transmission. In 1991, this gearbox was modified for FWD vehicles with engines (2-4 lit.). After testing, this transmission has been supplied to the market since 1993. The 4T60E was modified in 1993 and renamed as 4T65E. This gearbox is a robust product of GM, which properly operates for the first 5-7 years of service. The 440-T4 has been operating since 1983 on Cadillac named as 4T60, and considered to be quite convenient and repairable. Heavy duty (HD) modification is able to work in couple with 440 Nm engines. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD/AWD38012,77Dexron VI Technical issues and repair guidelines The torque converter (TC) of 4T65E commonly causes a lot of problems during repair procedures. Bearings is a soft spot in this transmission unit. After covering 200 thousand kilometers bearings may get damaged at any moment. The major repair of this gearbox after 150-170 thousand kilometers requires replacement of all bearings. Issues with the differential bearing may cause the most expensive difficulties (namely, damage of the sun gear differential together with differential planet gears). Then the oil flow with metal pieces may damage the valve body (VB).The main soft spots of the 4T65E frictions are two friction packages, namely, 3rd Clutch with one-sided frictions and 2nd Clutch. In terms of design, the VB unit of the 4T60E has a lot of differences in comparison with the solution of the 4T60E. This gearbox is also sensitive to contaminated and overheated ATF as well as damaged differential.In electrical components, solenoids have quite a short service lifespan (it is advisable to check the operability of solenoids when the mileage exceeds 150 thousand kilometers).In case of an old car overhaul with mileages strongly beyond 200 thousand kilometers, it is required to replace worn-out bushings which are commonly ordered in a complete kit. This gearbox is reliable and not complicated. After a major repair it has a substantial resource, if drivers monitor the ATF cleanness and not overload the transmission by maximum torques.Problems mainly occur in the XC90 using the differential in its design. Volvo cars with this gearbox are not intended for driving off the road as well as on muddy roads.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission 4T40E, 4T45E rarely appears in repair services. It has been used since 1995 on FWD American (and Korean) GM vehicles with engines up to 2 liters. In terms of design, this transmission is related to the 3T40, their spare parts are interchangeable. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD23011,76,5Dexron VI Technical issues and repair guidelines The repair of the 4Т40 transmission often lies in change of ATF, and replacement of filter and spare parts. The oil of any type (from Dexron III to Dexron VI) may be used for the 4Т40 transmission. The torque converter is a soft spot in almost all American automatic transmissions and requires replacement of spare parts quite early. Driving with worn torque converter may lead to vibrations, rapid ATF contamination and issues with the seal and bushing of the torque converter located immediately near the input. If this problem stays neglected, then it is required to change the torque converter bushing and the whole kit of bushings.The problem of burnt ATF is solved by replacement of all friction elements and the brake band.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission 4R100\ E4OD for powerful RWD vehicles with engine capacity from 5 liters was produced by Ford since 1996.This transmission is a modification of its predecessor E4OD, which was used since 1989.It is tested, well-balanced and rare in repair transmission. Efficient and not complicated design of this transmission served as a basis for the following generation of the 5-speed automatic transmissions - 5R110W. (starting from 2003).

In addtion to spare parts with rubber covered pistons, a typical repair order includes the brake band Intermediate (Direct, High/ Reverse). Seals of the pump and the input shaft are replaced in the course of repair of old cars. Then transmission specialists usually deal with the following components: - the drum Intermediate/ Overdrive Clutch - Separator of the overrunning clutch Sprag, (INTERM). - solenoids are replaced as a whole block.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission GM 4L80 was introduced 1990. It was used for trucks and SUVs with the engine capacity from 5 liters. This transmission is extremely reliable, powerful, and not complicated in terms of design. It has been installed on army armored vehicles Cobra and armored fighting cars Eagle for many years.The 4L80 is a famous predecessor the 3-speed 3L80. Many spare parts are interchangeable. In most cases, this transmission appears in repair services with Jaguars. It is also installed on powerful cars with engines from 5 liters including Hummer and Rolls-Royce. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATRWD/4WD60013,46,7Dexron VI Technical issues and repair guidelines This transmission is a rare “guest” in repair services, thus it can be assumed that this unit is quite reliable. It went through many upgrades without serious changes (only rarely updating gaskets, seals, and filters). Clutch and brake packages are designed very reliably with such a huge reserve, that the type of friction elements hasn’t been changed since 1965. The Direct clutch pack is the first to be worn-out and considered to be one of the weakest clutch packs. But it is quite normal and occurs after considerable mileages, extreme operating conditions and loads. If friction components of two abovementioned packs burn ATF for a long time and this ATF soaks in other friction linings, then the whole set of friction components should be replaced. After 12-15 years of usage the wear-out of bushings becomes clear and vibrations exceed allowed limit, therefore repair specialists have to replace the whole set of bushings. Solenoids and the torque converter lock-up solenoid also reach the end of their service life by time. Almost all overhauls are performed when bushings, hollow discs, solenoids reach the end of their long service life. These transmissions easily operate for 200 thousand kilometers and even longer.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission 4L30E is the successor of a reliable 3-speed transmission 3L30E, which has been used since 1969. These transmissions were made in the USA and in Europe (Strasbourg) under the name AR25 for RWD Opel Omega and AR35 for a 3-liter Katera. The 4L30E has been installed since 1990 on RWD and AWD BMWs of all series with engine capacity of up to 3 liters, but it was more widely used on GM, Opel Omega, Isuzu and even on Honda Passport where it proved to be highly efficient. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATRWD/AWD3509,74,6Dexron VI Technical issues and repair guidelines The torque converter, valve body and solenoids in the 4L30E transmission have a relatively limited resource. The operability of these components is gradually deteriorating because of the friction lock-up wear-out and accumulation of varnish in the narrowest places leading to the oil pressure drop and oil starvation, that results in a harmful impact on bushings, which have a proper resource.Operations with the worn-out pump liner and contaminated ATF lead to the oil pump damage. Plastic washer-bearings are also considered to be spare parts to be replaced. The valve body after 200 thousand kilometers requires a statutory disassembly, repair and cleaning from varnish. The linear pressure solenoid was introduced in the valve body design for the brake band drive gear for regulation of the band pressure on the drum by means of PWM. Solenoids with exhausted resource are considered to be a typical problem in the electrical part of the transmission. The line pressure solenoid is also frequently replaced. It is a reliable well-regulated transmission with a robust service resource for its components. After a simple overhaul this transmission can additionally operate for several years, if you properly monitor the ATF condition.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission ZF 4HP20 has been installed on a wide range of European FWD cars since 1995. This transmission is intended for the torque up to 330 Nm. ZF 4HP20 is used on Peugeot, Renault, Citroen with 2-3 liter engine. The 4HP20 unit has been installed on V-class Mercedes since 1998. This 4-speed transmission was used by PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) as the next modification of its AL-4 (DP0) for more powerful engines with the torque up to 330 Nm. This transmission lived up to all expectations by its dynamic characteristics and viability. It is a very reliable and low-maintenance transmission, which is mainly handed in for repair with the purpose of the filter change and replacement of gaskets and seals. The manufacturer assures that there is no need in fluid change during the first 10 years. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD3308,33,5LT 71141 Technical issues and repair guidelines It is recommended to change fluid (Esso LT 71141) in this transmission after covering 60-80 thousand kilometers, depending on the driving style aggressiveness and transmission wear-out. The fluid level usually causes no problems, it is changed by means of partial change in several stages or complete change. The operation with insignificant fluid underfilling is also allowed, but the fluid overflow may be harmful for this transmission. Typical problems with 4HP20: The torque converter of the 4HP20 unit is the first component that cannot endure intensive exploitation. Initial vibrations caused by unevenly worn-out lock-up clutch lead to vibrations on the pump shaft and leakages through the seal. The next component to get out of order is the assembled oil pump. The bushing in the pump fails, forcing car owners to pay for replacement of the whole pump unit as neither bushings nor covers are supplied separately. The seal replacement without repair of the torque converter cannot solve the problem, but only buy some time. Typical problems in electrical components of this transmission occur early and frequently. The valve body gets clogged with dirt, shavings and wear debris of friction components. In the course of the valve body repair it is quite common that some problems may occur with solenoids which exhausted their resource. The next parts to be replaced in the 4HP20 unit are: - Rubber-covered pistons in package F - Piston of package D – wears out because of overheating - Piston of package C – overheating - Seals and piston cups of the pump and half-axle The torque converter may have some problems when it stays neglected: wear-out of the lock-up mechanism, intended for blocking the clutch starting from the second gear. The torque converter quickly overheats and stops operating properly because of the worn-out lock-up clutch. The abovementioned factor leads to increase in fuel consumption, oil heating and pump operation, deterioration of acceleration characteristics, rapid wear-out of seals and bushings.The torque converter repair of the 4HP20 unit is more common in repair services than regularly repaired JF506, RE5R05, AXOD-E etc. But in general, this transmission is quite reliable, and when adhering to operational rules this transmission won't cause much trouble.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission ZF4HP16 for was released in the early 2000-th, when its predecessor ZF 4HP20 was thoroughly tested under operational conditions. The 4HP16 unit is a reduction design copy of the4HP20 solution. ZF 4HP16 is intended for lower torque (up to 240 Nm) and mainly produced by Korean companies under the ZF licence for FWD cars such as Daewoo, Chevrolet (Lacetti), Grand Vitara etc with the engine from 1.6 up to 2 liters. This transmission is the competitor of the U240 unit. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD2406,94LT 71141 Technical issues and repair guidelines The 4HP16 unit can be rarely found in repair shops. It it can be explained by the fact that this transmission, like all 4-speed ZF transmissions, is notable for its durablity and lack of major weaknesses. This transmission operates with different fluid types, but it is necessary to monitor the fluid level and its quality. Repair and replacements ATF change is accompanied by replacement of a one-time filter with a felt membrane. They are recommended for replacement after the second oil change, and for old cars – every time when changing the oil, that preserves solenoids and very expensive valve body. Unilateral frictions usually get burnt in the clutch pack C. The responsive steel disc burns together with these friction elements. To solve this issue, ZF engineers changed the positioning of these three problematic friction discs in the following modifications. The piston is also frequently replaced during the transmission rebuilding. Spare parts in the 4HP16 unit are usually replaced in old torque converters. If this measure is neglected, then it may cause leaks in seals and the pump damage. There are some minor problems with electrical components, which do not endure hot summer in the city and aggressive driving style with fluid overheating. Problems with contaminated solenoids lead to insufficient oil pressure resulting in problems with seals, bushings and pump with the torque converter. D and Е packages also get frequently damaged. Problems of old/worn-out transmissions (usually after 200 thousand kilometers) are similar to problems in the 4HP20 transmission.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic gearbox 4F27E was designed in 1998 for well-known FWD vehicles Ford Focus with the engine capacity from 1.3 up to 2 liters. According to Mazda classification, this models is also known as FN4A-EL. This gearbox is intended for lower torque. It is a remarkable solution which can be rebuilt without removing the whole mechanism. The cover is a common component for repair in this gearbox. This easy-to-operate gearbox is still assembled on many plants of Ford-Mazda worldwide. The range of 4F27E /FNR5 is the most common Ford-Mazda gearboxes in repair services. Spare parts for repair of 4F27E (FN4A-EL) are almost the same as in the 5-speed FNR5. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD20083,5DexronVI / Mercon LV Technical issues and repair guidelines Clearance of the Reverse drum on the back cover stator. Friction components of Overdrive and Reverse packages get burnt quite rapidly. Fast burning of these elements is related to design peculiarities of such type of gearboxes. Burning of these reliable friction elements occurs because the drum seating position on the rear cover support wears out and oil leaks out from teflon rings. Back cover of the FN4A-EL Specialists assume that the back cover issue is related to the stator’s material in the FN4A-EL. It is softer than in Ford (4F27E), therefore gearboxes for Ford have no problems with the rear cover. Electrical elements in the 4F27E work properly for a long time. The valve body is usually cleaned and rubber with gaskets get replaced with the help of the Overhaul Kit. The differential is one more problematic component of “old” units. Ford updated the differential several times for different cars and now differentials of the 4F27E vary in quantity of “teeth”.Rubber-covered pistons (Reverse, Forward, Low/Reverse) are the spare parts of second priority. This gearbox is well-known among repair specialists, most parts for this gearbox are widely available. Proper exploitation and well-timed maintenance make this gearbox reliable and repairable.

Transmission general data The 4-speed family of GM transmissions named as TH700R4 (Turbo-Hydramatic) 4L60E/ 4L65E has been launched in production in 1982 and after some minor changes was renamed as 4L60. This 4-speed transmission for RWD cars was constructively based on the popular HydraMatic 700R4, but produced at the GM factory in Toledo (Ohio) and proved to be very efficient. This gearbox was used on RWD 4WD cargo vehicles and off-road vehicles with the engine from 3 up to 6 liters. It is the primary transmission for Hammers and also was used on Suzuki Vitara and SAAB. In 1996, engineers introduced a significant update and as a result the valve body control became electronic and it was named as the 4L60-E. But the main innovation leading to high level of sales was the solenoid-regulator allowing soft shifting of gears and fast acceleration as well as control over the torque converter (TC) lock slippery. By 2001 the enhanced version of the 4L65E had been released. This modification was intended for the torque equal to 515 Nm. The next modifications of hydraulics and electronics and were introduced in 2001 -2003.

The TC unit in this transmission operates quite intensively, accelerating a powerful car with the help of the lock-up when the driver strongly pushes the throttle pedal to the floor.The clutch drum and the brake band frequently turn out to be a major issue for Hammers H2 and H3 with engines over 5 liters. The first overhauls of the 4L60 consist in cleaning of the valve body (VB) and solenoids, repair of the TC unit with replacement of the lock-up unit and some spare parts. If the ATF and filter are replaced often and in due time, then the transmission operates properly for a long time. Solenoids are replaced as a full kit when their operating period comes to an end. After covering 150-200 thousand kilometers the following units fail due to the transmission ageing (and first of all because of contaminated oil): - Valve body separate plate -Separator of the overrunning clutch, Forward (Input) Clutch and Low/Reverse. Intensively operating rear planetary gear is usually replaced on old cars. The kit of valve body gaskets is one of the most frequently ordered spare parts. The kit of bearings is also ordered for the transmission reassembly. In general, these automatic transmissions are robust and consistent and after a standard overhaul they will serve for a long period of time.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission ZF 4HP14 found application on compact cars produced by Peugeot and Citroën, later it was installed on Daewoo models. This successful transmission also operated and on Volvo and Saab cars with engine capacity up to 2 liters. The main improvements in this transmission were implemented in 1986, and in 1989. Since then, the 4HP14 design hasn’t been seriously changed. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD5,42,5Dexron III Technical issues and repair guidelines The main maintenance requirement for this transmission during many years of reliable service is timely ATF change (Dexron III or Dexron VI) and fiilter replacement every 100 thousand kilometers. The torque converter unit of this transmission easily operates for 200 thousand kilometers without any repair. There is no much information related to the repair of hard parts of the ZF 4HP14 unit to draw some patterns, because this transmission operates properly for a long time and the car gets too old before the first transmission overhaul. The most popular parts ordered for the overhaul of this transmission are the following: - filter - Repair kit of gaskets and seals (Overhaul Kit), - brake band - pump bushing (or turbine shaft bushing) and friction clutches In most cases, repair specialists have to repair frictions in the Forward pack and steel discs. The kit of steel discs is ordered not so often for repair, because friction components wear out rather than get burnt.Seal, pump, and turbine shaft bushing are the first to get burnt because of vibrations and overheating of the worn-out torque converter. In all other respects, this transmission is quite simple and almost problem-free. After the valve body cleaning, the torque converter reassembly, and proper repair this gear shifting unit becomes extremely robust.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission AX4N was designed in 1994. It is the modification of its predecessor AX4S, which is in turn the modification of the AOD-E transmission.This transmission was not very popular and since 2004 it had been frequently replaced by German CVT CFT30 and the 6-speed transmission AF21 (TF-81SC) until 2007 when Mazda produced the 6- speed 6F50, and later (2009) - the enhanced 6F55. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD37012,86,6Mercon V Technical issues and repair guidelines The most popular spare parts rebuilding of this transmission are the following: repair kit of gaskets and seals (Overhaul kit). For all transmissions of this family installed on old cars, it is recommended to change ATF (Mercon V - Dexron-IV) with the filter each year after operation in hot summer time. It is required to check the ATF state for transparency. In many cases, problems of the AX4N are related to inconveniences in gears shifting caused by shortcomings of the valve body design, which gets clogged by friction dust. Many specialists assume that the main reason of ATF contamination is the torque converter. The torque converter overheats ATF and facilitates to rapid oil contamination by friction wear debris, which quickly damage the valve body material. The manufacturer recommends installation of an additional transmission radiator. Spare parts of the AX4N are sensitive to extreme operating conditions and as a result it leads to fast wear-out of all wearing elements, including brake bands Rear -Coast and O.D. - Overdrive, rubber-covered pistons. In the course of the transmission reassembly, it is recommended to check properly all rubber elements for elasticity of the rubber protection shield. The first compenents to get burnt are friction elments of the Direct package, and later Forward package. Other friction components wear out more rarely and often left untouched till the next overhaul.
