Transmission general data The 6-speed FWD automatic transmission FW6A-EL with the east-west mounting was developed by Aisin for Mazda. This transmission was installed on Mazda CX-5 with the 2.0 liter engine, Mazda-3, Mazda-6. In terms of design, this transmission is very similar to the U660E transmission produced by AisinWarner. This transmission is considered to be the main competitor of ZF 6HP19-21. The FW6A-EL transmission has the torque converter with a double lock-up clutch that helps to accelerate the transmission faster and with higher efficiency. However, frequent usage of kick-down may lead to failures. This transmission employs reliable Aisin solenoids – linear type solenoids with anodized manifold, which is built into the solenoid body. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type6ATFWD30085ATF-FZ Skyactiv This transmission is a “rare guest” in the repair services, repair specialists mainly change oil and filter. It is recommended to change ATF after reaching the mileage of 100 thousand kilometers, and then every 50-60 thousand miles. It is required to monitor ATF transparency regularly, because with aggressive driving style ATF may get contaminated much earlier. In rare cases, transmission specialists face the problem when the torque converter lock-up damages the pump. The issue is expressed in vibrations and leakages through the pump seal. In this case specialists not only replace the seal, but also repair the torque converter and replace clutches. Another problem, similar to the issue in U660E, is wear of the case center bearing. This problem occurs when drivers get carried away with the kick-down on cold oil. One more typical problem of this transmission is damage of the double drum High/Low. After running 100 thousand kilometers it is also recommended to monitor the ATF temperature and the heat exchanger operation, similar to VW problems with the TF60-SN transmission. In old cars repair specialists advice to clean the heat-exchanger during full ATF change, to ensure reaching of 300 thousand kilometers mileage before the overhaul.

Transmission general data The CVT transmission version named TF690 (Lineartronic) was designed in 2008 for Subaru Outback with the engine capacity equal to 2.5 liters. The second generation was named as TR580. In 2010, this CVT was tested on Impreza with the engine capacity from 1.6 to 2.0 liters. Starting from 2012, this transmission also found application on other Subaru models. The design of middle class CVTs includes a chain instead of a push belt. This CVT is quite sensitive to the fluid state, its cleanness and temperature. There is a special type of oil for this CVT named as SUBARU CVT Oil Lineartronic II (K0425Y0710). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type∞CVTAWD35012,55,6SUBARU CVT Oil Lineartronic II Technical issues and repair guidelines The repair kit of gaskets and seals is used to replace rings and gaskets. Rubber rings are replaced when the CVT unit is overheated or if it operates with contaminated fluid (including chips) for a long time. In case when frictions burn to the glue layer, the filter with the mesh is also replaced in the process of the TF690 reassembly. Burnt frictions and Forward steel discs are the first to be replaced. Next on the popularity of the replacement are the metal frictions of the Starter package. The starter pack is responsible for turning the cones on and off when stopping and shifting the lever to the neutral position. Transfer frictions also appear in replacement operations. They are responsible for distribution of torque on rear\front wheel drive. The TR580 unit has problems with the valve body and a set of solenoids. In previous models these components caused the failure of electrics when the transmission operated with contaminated oil for a long time or under extreme loads and temperatures. When the wear-out of the belt and cones is neglected, then it is necessary to replace the cones. A typical problem with CVT cones in Subaru is related to the input shaft bearing, pressed in the transmission body. This bearing is cranked by vibrations at maximum speeds, and then it breaks.

Transmission general data The automatic transmission GS7D36SG was designed by 2008 for BMW vehicles with engines having the torque up to 400 Nm. This transmission has 7 speeds and minimum possible 100 ms of the torque disruption. This transmission also named as M-DCT and DSG-7 BMW. Initially this transmission was installed on rare BMW M3, Z4. After testing, computer adjustment, improvement of the cooling system this transmission was offered for cars of E90/92/93 series, and later for E82/88 series. In addition to impressive characteristics of the acceleration dynamics this transmission has a solid reserve in durability (for 100 thousand kilometers).

This transmission has all modern security systems from overheating. Friction components are selected with steel discs for each type of engines, require correct positioning during installation (for efficient cooling),violation and get burnt in case of violation of operation rules. The friction lining wear-out increases clearances in the package and the transmission starts shifting gears improperly. Before replacement of friction components it is recommended to consult an authorized DSG BMW service, because it may be possible to adjust shifting with worn-out frictions with the use of software.

Transmission general data In 1987 Ford and Fiat started to produce the type of automatic transmission called CVT. This innovative system was designed on the basis of the Van Doome mechanism, which was installed in small cars (DAF) in 1955. The Ford CTX transmission operates on the principle of belt driving applied in Van Doome transmissions, but with some peculiarity, namely, usage of a single steel belt (operating in compression) instead of two rubber drive belts (operating in tension). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type∞CVTFWD3,6MVATF PLUS Technical issues and repair guidelines This type of gearboxes is used for FWD vehicles with the capacity up to 1.6 liters. It is claimed, that this transmission is more economically viable solution in comparison with usual automatic gearboxes. This transmission has a smoothly shifting gear ratio over the entire speed range. Transmission of the torque from the engine to the main drive shaft is performed not via converter, but through the multi-plate clutch. The transmission control unit provides an optimal gear ratio for any driving mode with a maximum efficiency coefficient of the engine. There is a kick-down mode which facilitates to the speed increase in cases of overtaking or uphill movement. This mode is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and held in this state.

The clutch drum К1 Due to construction peculiarities of the 722.7 unit and its valve body (VB), at one of the phases of clogging and aging of the 722.7 electrics transmitted excessive pressure on this pack damages the metal of the drum with the piston or pulls out the closing ring, that leads to slipping and necessity for change of the entire clutch cover K1. Preventive measures include well-timed cleaning of the VB unit, or well-timed change of the TC lock-up clutch after gearbox travels 150-200 thousand kilometers. 2.Valve body electronic plate For proper diagnostics and repair estimation, it is necessary to obtain error codes. Change of the board sensors or wiring of solenoids demands classification of the specialist and programming capabilities for encoding the plate for VIN of the car. Mercedes electronic boards are sensitive to the water, temperature difference, metal chips in oil. Each time diagnostics detects various causes of abnormal operation. The minor repair helps to delay the preventive repair for several years by means of cleaning\washing of the VB unit, repair of the electric plate with broken sensors. Operation with overheated oil damages the electronic plate extremely fast.

Transmission general data TOYOTA K210 / XA-15LN Simultaneously with the first generation of CVTs (K110/K111/K112), the Japanese company Aisin designed a lightweight CVT version K210 intended for small cars (with engine capacity of 1.0-1.5 liters). The right-hand drive Toyota Vitz (engine capacity 1.3 liters) was the first car equipped with this CVT. This car was intended for sale on the domestic market of Japan. Toyota wanted to test this CVT in Japan and fix all possible issues. The first upgrade of K210 was implemented in 3 month after its launch – Aisin engineers changed the belt. This measure helped to improve the car performance reliability at idle speed. In 2004, CVTEC Co., Ltd started production of 30-millimeter CVT belts, which found application in K210 (before that, the K210 gearbox was equipped with the belt of the Dutch company VDT BV). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type∞CVTFWD14585Aisin CVTF7004, Toyota 08886-02105 For the external market (car models not including Toyota), Aisin produced the modification of K210 named as XA-15LN. From 2007 to 2014, this CVT had been successfully used by the company Mazda in its cars (Mazda Demio and Mazda Axela). It should be noted that modifications of the K210 transmission are not interchangeable (or partly interchangeable). The range of K210/XA-15LN did not receive any continuation. CVTs of this series were installed on a limited number of models of Toyota and Mazda for the domestic market of Japan. These CVTs had been produced before the end of 2015. In 2004, Aisin developed a new range of CVTs (K410/K411) for Toyota cars with 1.3-1.5 liter engines. This series turned out to be quite successful. Typical problems: 1) CVTs of K210/XA-15LN series (as well as other CVTs produced by Aisin) are extremely sensitive to ATF quality. In this case, we are talking not only about the presence of metal shavings in ATF, but also about ATF overheating. Shavings in ATF are actually abrasive particles, which eventually (if ATF is not changed) damage Teflon rings in CVT. Then it leads to ATF pressure drops in the transmission itself. Severe wear of Teflon rings over time leads to damage of friction clutches and steel discs. 2) Overheating of the CVT K210/XA-15LN often leads to complete replacement of friction discs. If the driver continues using the transmission with burnt ATF for a long time, then ATF not only loses it qualities and cools the transmission insufficiently (often it leads to overheating and replacement of pistons), but also poorly lubricates cones (especially in winter mode). It leads to slipping of the belt in winter time. Early versions of K210-11A CVT modifications were equipped with belts of the company VDT BV. These belts are not interchangeable with later modifications of belts produced by “CVTEC Co., Ltd.”. 3) Shavings (if ATF is not changed) reach bearings on the input and/or output shaft of cones and eventually one of bearings starts “buzzing”. Bearings are not very expensive, but replacement of the “buzzing” bearing is possible only with removal and complete disassembly of CVT (this procedure is time-consuming). 4) Some drivers had to deal with the problem of seal leakages in K210. Replacement of seals is usually combined with ATF change Which cars run with this gearbox?BrandModelYearTypeEngineDaihatsuBOON10-16CVT FWDL4 1.3LDaihatsuBOON/BOON LUMINAS10-11CVT F/4WDL4 1.3LSubaruTREZIA10-16CVT FWDL4 1.3LSuzukiSPLASH08-11CVT FWDL4 1.2LSuzukiSWIFT07-11CVT FWDL4 1.2LToyotaPASSO10-16CVT FWDL4 1.3LToyotaRACTIS06-11CVT FWDL4 1.3LToyotaVITZ05-16CVT FWDL3 1.0L

Transmission general data The CVT VT2 transmission was released in 2009 and was offered to numerous carmakers (Brilliance/BYD/Chery/Geely Emgrand/Great Wall/Tengyi/Haima 3/Freema/Hyundai Avante HD hybrid/Huandong /Toyota Vitz). CVT transmissions VT1 and VT2 have a reliable design (with a significant safety margin of transmission components) with a push belt. For many years, maintenance and repair services for this CVT are limited to change of oil and filter, and later – replacement of the Bosch belt. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type∞CVTFWD18283,1EZL-799-A45 The software of VT1,2 is designed to spare expensive cones at low speeds, when the belt and surfaces of cones operate very intensively. The cones have wear-resistant coating of operating surfaces implemented with the help of space technologies. These cones cannot be rebuilt and are not supplied to repair markets. The valve body filter in the VT2 transmission is based on Jatco solutions. Rare overhauls accompanied by reassembly of spare parts, the wear of which leads to pressure losses on the friction clutches and their consequent wear, require the repair kit of gaskets and seals. Repair specialists prefer to use Precision repair kit. Experienced transmission repair specialists, who work with VT1 and VT2 transmissions, change the filter and ATF as often as possible, because it is extremely hard to find spare parts for these transmissions. While changing the filter and ATF specialists usually check the chain (belt) for wear of the protector and in case of any suspicion of wear – replace the belt. The 30-40% wear of the belt teeth increases the risk slippage (metal-on-metal), even with the common (not sports) acceleration to outrun the truck ahead. If the surfaces of cones have tears or "pits", then specialists advice to replace the CVT instead of its repair. Generally, the VT2 transmission is considered to be "invincible” under the condition of proper maintenance. Today, it is one of the best CVTs on the market.

Transmission general data 8-speed CVT 0AW (VL380) was produced by Audi in 2004 for 4WD Audi models (from А3 (Sportback) to А7 (Sportback)) with gasoline engines from 1.8 to 3 liters to replace the 6-speed transmission 01J. In 2007, the new modification of this transmission named VL381 was produced. This CVT inherited only few spare parts (friction elements, steel disc etc) and the operation principle from its predecessor 01J. Electric components and the valve body were significantly improved. This smart transmission can send a huge torque (for CVTs) - up to 400Nm. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type8CVTFWD/AWD4005.5-7G 052 516 A2 Technical issues and repair guidelines There is still some old peculiarity of this transmission, which is related to the pulling chain – if the car equipped with this transmission is used for towing, then the cones with the chain get damaged without a chance for repair. Parts for repair of the 0AW transmission (besides an internal filter) are quite rare and available on request. For example, one of the typical issues is burning of the clutch drum. The internal filter is the same as for VL380 and 381. Filters are produced for deep and small pans.The list of required spare parts also includes the belt, which should be replaced without waiting for the moment when very expensive cones may be damaged. The price of these cones is comparable with depreciation value of the vehicle itself. The pulling belt gets stretched pretty fast because of extreme loads. Automakers give different figures regarding the belt service life before it should be replaced, but all of these figures are much lower than 200 thousand kilometers, therefore the belt is included in every second order for the overhaul of the 0AW transmission. In rare cases, it is necessary to replace a very expensive TCM (control unit) – valve channels of this control unit can be damaged by contaminated ATF.

Transmission general data The 8-speed 0С8 (or TR-80SD according to Aisin) is a new generation of Aisin RWD transmissions. It was designed in 2006 for VAG (Volkswagen-Audi) as an alternative to DSG, which still can not function reliably with powerful engines. This transmission was installed on Audi Q7 equipped with diesel engines V6-V8 from 3 liter capacity, and the torque capacity over 700 Nm. The same trasnmission design adapted for off-road Lexus cars has been used since 2007 under the name AA80E\F. In the winter of 2010, this 8-speed transmission fully entered the foreign market, where it replaced its 6-speed predecessor TR-60SN on Porsche Cayenne (2010 - 2014) and on Tuareс (2010 - 2014) in different sub-versions for TDI diesel engines with the capacity from 3.0 up to 3.6 liters (Audi -TFSI). This transmission was used by American automakers for Cadillac CTS VSport in 2014 under the name TL-80SD. The competitive model for above mentioned gearbox is ZF 8HP70. This transmission was designed with usage of successful TR60-SN elements, but the valve body and the overall construction of transmission components and electrics were significantly modified. Most of the parts are not interchangeable with the predecessor. It is the most powerful of modern RWD Aisin transmission capable of transmitting the torque up to 800 Nm. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type8ATRWD/AWD85010,58Toyota ATF WS Technical issues and repair guidelines This gearbox as all Aisin RWD transmissions is considered to be “invincible” and maintainable, designed to travel up to one million kilometers with minimum number of overhauls. The repair kit of gaskets and seals is ordered for reassembly in order to restore leak resistance of jointing edges by replacement of rings and gaskets that helps to the valve body in regulation of gear shifting by the oil pressure. The whole kit of friction elements is replaced when some components get burned. At the same time, it is recommended to change the torque converter frictions in case of burned ATF. For this transmission automakers used a new torque convertor with a multi-disc lockup clutch in order to guarantee a prolonged service life of torque converter frictions (over 200 thousand kilometers) and at the same time allow the driver to accelerate with the help of forced blocking of the torque converter lock-up clutch in "slippery mode". It significantly increases the transmission efficiency, improves acceleration characteristics, but wears out hard-working frictions of the lock-up. The valve body of this transmission differs from its predecessors TR-60 and TF-60. This valve body will get clogged if it is used with contaminated ATF for several years. Aisin solenoids in contrast to ZF solenoids can withstand much more open-close cycles.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission A174 (TW-40) belonging to the "micro" class with a rear drive was designed by Aisin in 1998 on the basis of 3-speed predecessor А172. After testing and update, this transmission was installed on Suzuki Jimni, Escudo, Avery (Landy) with engines from 0.7 up to 1.3 liters. This automatic transmission is considered to be a modern, economical and “invincible” unit for the minimum torque (up to 120 Nm).

Transmission experts assume that it is necessary to replace all friction clutches (soaked with oil combustion products) in transmissions operating with burnt oil. The valve body design of this transmission includes "On-Off" solenoids (responsible for gear shifting and the torque converter lock-up operation), and a big EPC solenoid. Solenoids are adjusted quite accurately and ensure the torque converter actuation without a hard slippage. Therefore the torque converter does not overheat or smudge solenoids too much, allowing solenoids to operate for quite a long time. Sometimes problems occur in wiring of solenoids.
