Transmission general data The 4-speed FWD automatic transmission U540E was designed by Aisin in 2000 on the basis of the famous A4LB-1, which went out of fashion by that time. The transmission A4LB-1 also was modified in 2002 and a new modification can be found on different cars worldwide. This automatic transmission has two names - U540E (according to Aisin Co), and Daihatsu gave different names to its sub-modifications: A4Q, A4P, A4L, A4G, ..., depending on the car model. The U540E was upgraded with several hydraulic control solenoids, the valve body and electrics, and the new filter for the valve body.

For many years of operation, it only requires change of oil and filter replacement, however it can cover the distance of 150-200 thousand kilometers even with an old filter. For the overhaul of this carefully adjusted transmission, specialists usually order the repair kit of gaskets and seals, which is mainly needed for reassembly of contaminated valve body and replacement of worn out rings causing the burning of frictions. The kit of all friction clutches is usually ordered together with the repair kit. Frictions get burnt for various reasons, but one of the most popular ones is related to insufficient oil pressure, caused by: 1. worn-out teflon and rubber rings 2. dirty wedging valves of the valve body 3. dirty valves of solenoids 4. faulty electrics of the solenoid or wiring of solenoids 5. clogged filter This transmission can be rarely met in repair services, all spare parts for this transmission are considered to be rarity and there is no much statistics related to its repair.

Transmission general data TOYOTA K410 / K411 / K41A / K41B / XA-10LN Aisin developed the “200” series (K210) of CVT transmissions in 2002. This gearbox was intended for cars with 1.0-1.3 liter engines. The K210 had been produced and installed on some Toyota cars for the domestic market of Japan before 2015. Nevertheless, this series was not very successful – the CVT was larger than initially planned; it turned out to be not very convenient for underhood space of small cars. Therefore, in 2004, Aisin started developing a new “400” series on the basis of the K210. The K410 modification was smaller in size, lighter weight, and had enhanced fuel economy in comparison with the “200” series. Toyota considered the K410 to be an ideal CVT solution for small cars with 1.0-1.3 liter engines. This transmission is still applied in numerous Toyota cars (including cars for the European market). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type∞CVTFWD14585Aisin CVTF7004, Toyota 08886-02105 In October 2008, Aisin launched production of the CVT transmission named K41A. This transmission was designed on the basis of the K410 modification and was specifically intended for application on cars Toyota IQ. The main difference between these two transmissions lies in the fact the differential in K41A was moved forward (in contrast with K410). This measure made it possible to reduce the size of the CVT for installation on limited underhood space of Toyota IQ (with 1.0 liter engine). In April 2009, the CVT modification K41b was launched in production. The main peculiarity of this transmission is higher torque transmission capacity. Therefore, this gearbox could have been used for Toyota IQ with more powerful 1,3-liter engine. In October 2010, Aisin engineers came up with a new CVT solution for the “400” series – the modification K411. The main difference of the K411 transmission from the 410 version is a significant fuel economy, which is achieved by actuation of an active clutch, when starting a car, and thanks to a new control mechanism (flex start control). In 2007, Aisin produced a new modification of the K410 transmission, which was named as XA-10LN for external markets (not for Toyota cars). This CVT was successfully applied in Suzuki cars (Suzuki Splash and Suzuki Swift). These Suzuki models were sold in the domestic market of Japan. In the European automotive market, K410/K411 CVTs were installed only on Toyota IQ (K41a and K41b) and Toyota Verso-S/Subaru Trezia (K411). Cars equipped with CVTs K410 and K411 were not sold in the North America (USA and Canada). Cars with these transmissions are quite popular in Australia, New Zealand, and some countries of Southeast Asia. Typical problems Typical problems which occur in this range of CVT transmissions include the following: 1) ATF contamination 2) K410/K411 CVTs often get overheated (especially in winter time) 3) Damage of bearings 4) Seal Clutch leakages Which cars run with this gearbox?BrandModelYearTypeEngineMazdaDEMIO07-14CVT FWDL4 1.3L 1.5LSubaruTREZIA12-13CVT F/4WDL4 1.5LSuzukiSPLASH08-14CVT FWDL4 1.2LToyotaIST07-16CVT F/4WDL4 1.5LToyotaPORTE11CVT FWDL4 1.5LToyotaRACTIS06-13CVT FWDL4 1.5LToyotaSIENTA03-15CVT FWDL4 1.5LToyotaVITZ05-16CVT FWDL4 1.5L

Transmission general data The 6-speed automatic transmission U660E designed by Aisin in 2006 for FWD cars Lexus ES350, as well as for the luxury 6-cylinder models (Camry, RAV4, Avensis) for 3.5 lit. The unit was paired with the V6 engine.The U660F unit is intended for AWD crossovers and sedans. The U660 unit is a competitor of ZF 6HP26. In 2009, the U660 unit was complemented by U760E model cured from "common problems" and intened for a bit lower torque from the engine (up to 2.7 l). After some period of time the U761E sub-modification was released for less powerful engines with 2.0-liter capacity. Repair parts for this gearbox are the same as for U760. Among the market competitors of the U760 unit, specialists point out the ZF 6HP21 unit. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type6ATFWD/AWD6,52,8Toyota Type WS Technical issues and repair guidelines Friction lining of the lockup unit is not the most crucial problem for driving, but it is critical for the “health” of this transmission. The torque converter is the main "contaminator" and the source of all problems of clogged valve body and solenoids. This gearbox usually covers 200 thousand kilometers, but the driver can significantly cut its service life by an aggressive driving style. Almost all major repairs of this gearbox include the torque converter repair. The torque converter repair with replacement of worn-out friction lining every 150-250 thousand kilometers (depending on the driving style) allows saving of some money on the valve body replacement. According to judgement of experts, the most common problem of the U660E unit is related to the main housing bearing, which is attached to a “weak” circlip. The drum of Direct package is one more problem of this gearbox. Many gearboxes with short mileages (only70-100 thousand kilometers) were handed in for the overhaul and replacement of burnt clutch cover С1-С2 - Drum (Direct) in the assembled condition. Another issue is related to wear-out and burning of frictions in braking packages B1-B3 (gears 2 and 6). The most frequently replaced component is a set of frictions in the package C1/C2 (gears 1-4). Generally the whole set of friction components is replaced. Valve body and solenoids in U660E The most common problem for all 6-speed automatic gearboxes is the worn valve body. The problem with the valve body, which operated with damaged torque converter lockup and contaminated ATF, is related to wear-out or slagging of channels and plunger-valves of the valve body. The most frequently replaced component in the electrical part is the selector position plate with temperature sensors. The overheated temperature sensor is often considered to be the reason of the valve body malfunction. The first reason of early issues with electrical components (before covering 200 thousand kilometers) is the automatic transmission overheating. Almost each overhaul of overheated U660E transmission is accompanied with the order of pistons kit. The list of spare parts that may be damaged in this sophisticated gearbox as a result of neglected bearing vibrations is quite large (crown gear, sun gear, planetary gears, differential, pistons). It should be taken into account, that all abovementioned problems with the U660 unit are common for very old or quite worn-out automatics. A high percentage of cars equipped with U660 serve before covering standard 200 thousand kilometers (in many cases even longer) without any repairs under the condition of timely ATF change and filter replacement.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic gearbox Toyota U340 (U341) has been used since 2000 on FWD Toyota Avensis, Corolla etc. with engine capacity up to 2 liters. One more leading transmission which is commonly met in repair services.This transmission was designed together with U140\ U240 (and identical in design) and was a very popular transmission in the field of repair among Aisin gear shifting units. The modification U341E provides higher torque, therefore it is used in engines with higher operational capacity Celica (1.8 l), the U341F unit is the version for four-wheeled vehicles (4WD). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD82,9Toyota Type WS Technical issues and repair guidelines The whole mechanical and hydraulic part of these transmissions is very robust and the service life before the 1-st major repair is above 200-300 thousand kilometers depending on the driving style of auto users. During the first years U340-341 units require timely change of fluid and filter replacement. After some period of operation and due to frictions wear-out (torque converter in particular), the fluid gets contaminated more rapidly and that results in more frequent ATF change. Frequent change of automatic transmission fluid postpones the replacement of the torque converter lining. One of the most common problems is the oil leakage from the pump seal located between the gearbox and the torque converter. The seal is changed together with the bushing. One of the most common parts to be replaced in new units (produced since 2009) is the EPC solenoid, which operates in much more intensive way than others. This transmission gets out of order after continuous operation in contaminated ATF with worn-out rings and seals. Timely change of ATF and repair of rings included in the repair kit makes it possible for this solenoid to operate during the whole period of the transmission usage period. Typical issues with valve body and solenoids in U340 The electrical components of this transmission are quite durable, therefore the whole U340 unit may be considered as a very reliable transmission. However, during each disassembly procedure of this gearbox, specialists usually rebuild and clean the valve body and solenoids, which get damaged because of contaminated ATF. The clogged valve body may lead to unpredictable slippage in the package, where the fluid is not transmitted through corresponding valve body plunger. Long-term operation of this transmission with such problem leads to premature wear of practically “invincible” friction components in this unit.

Transmission general data Transmission repair specialists frequently have to deal with repair issues in the 4-speed automatic transmissions U140E, U240, U241 and the entire range of these transmissions from Aisin Co. Aisin engineers wanted to design the U140E unit with a potential extension to 5 speeds.In 2000, more enhanced modification named U240 was introduced and a lot of U140\ U240 automatics found application in the whole range of popular Toyota cars at the auto market in Japan. The U241E (U240E) transmission has been operating safely since 2000 on the front-wheel (four-wheel drive) middle class cars with engine capacity from 2 up to 3 liters.The structure of these automatic units is so robust and sophisticated that even the presence of some soft spots (such as the third planetary gear) does not prevent U240-241 transmissions from being installed on very popular Toyota cars. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type4ATFWD/AWD9,54,2Toyota Type T-IV Technical issues and repair guidelines The risk group of car with this reliable transmission includes heavy cars with 3-liter engines, where gearbox components operate under heavy loads and the 1-st overhaul may occur even before the car travels 200 thousand kilometers. The first component to be repaired is the torque converter. In "old" U140 units transmission specialists have to pay closer attention to the output planet, which may have some issues related to the damage of pinion-satellites axles caused by critical loads. The sun gear gets damaged together with satellites of the planetary gear. At the following stage of damaging process, fragments of the damaged planetary gear crush the rear planetary gear of the U140 unit. The back cover is the second problematic place for this transmission: it performs a support function in U140-240 design. This issue is common for high-power engines both in RAV-4, and in Camry, Lexus RX300. According to the statistics change of frictions and steel disks in the Direct package is performed 3-4 times more frequently than in any other package. One more frequently replaced element in the Direct clutch package is the rubber-covered piston with a holder. The rubber gets damaged very fast failing under higher temperatures and dry functioning with jittering. When the pump bushing gets damaged it should be repaired together with the torque converter. The typical problem of the ECU during first years of operation – non-soldered contacts, causing unpredictable burning of packages and pressure jumps. Almost each overhaul includes a preventive change of the pump cup seal on the left side and the left semi-axle seal on the housing side. The 4-speed automatic transmissions U140E , U240 , U241 from Aisin Co traditionally have very reliable and persistent elecal components. Specialists almost every time are restricted to the repair and cleaning of the valve body and solenoids without any expensive replacements. The repair of old valve bodies involves cleaning of soot deposits and rebuilding of channels used for movement of valves.

Transmission general data The 6-speed automatic transmission AT6 (TF-70SC) from Aisin Co was designed in 2006 for FWD Peugeot cars of the middle class with the engine from 1.6 to 2 liters. This transmission has the torque capacity of up to 220 Nm (according to Aisin). After a long testing this automatic transmission was launched in the mass production in 2009, but was produced not as actively as the TF80 transmission unit. It was developed for Peugeot-Citroen cars on the constructive basis of TF-80SC (AM6 High torque capacity- up to 400 Nm). Inner parts of this transmission are similar to TF60-SN. Aisin name is AWF6F25. Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type6ATFWD2206,13,2Тойота WS Technical issues and repair guidelines The transmission AT6 has an electronic control integrated in the design of the transmission. One of the features of these automatic transmissions is the forced control of the torque converter lock-up. This feature, on the one hand, gives an increase in efficiency and rapid acceleration with fuel economy, but, on the other hand, it significantly loads the torque converter and the valve body. In previous versions of transmissions it led to the rapid wear-out of the valve body and the breakdown of solenoids. The transmission is designed as an "invincible" solution and operates till the old age of the car, when the transmission repair no longer makes sense. But violation of simple rules of operation for this automatic transmission can lead to the overhaul only after 150-200 thousand kilometers. Repair procedures and typical problems For the first overhaul specialists order the Repair kit of gaskets and seals. This repair kit is ordered mainly because of teflon rings, which wear out primarily from exploitation with contaminated oil and overloads. The chain of malfunctions starts with the clogged valve body and solenoids, which do not transmit enough oil to the line of one of the packages, therefore the transmission shifts gears with a delay or a kick. One of the typical problems in modern 6-speed automatic transmissions, and in the TF-80SC in particular, is related to the valve body. The valve body is extremely sensitive to the friction suspension from the torque converter in the ATF. Frequent oil changes facilitate the valve body self-cleaning. But now the valve body itself has become almost invincible because all soft spots related to channels transmitting contaminated oil and the plunger with valves have become the part of the solenoid design. It should be borne in mind, that the higher the wearout level of rings and rubber gaskets, the more ATF should be transmitted by the pump through valves of the valve body in order to compensate losses. Therefore solenoids operating in heavier oil current wear out much faster. For this reason, each reassembly and replacement of solenoids should be accompanied by replacement of spare parts.

The modification АА80F is used for AWD LS460. The maximum torque is up to 550 Nm. In terms of design, this transmission is related to TR-80SD (0С8). Number of gearsTransmission TypeDriveTorque (Nm)ATF (full capacity) LATF (change) LATF type8ATRWD/AWD55011,33,7Toyota WS Technical issues and repair guidelines With regard to mechnical components typical problems usually occur in the bushing and the pump seal, which are the first to be affected by the torque converter (TC) lock-up wear-out and overheating. The oil leaks via the seal of pump/TC is the the first signal for diagnostics, cleaning of the valve body, and the TC repair. Further operation with such leakages may result in the necessity for the pump bushing replacement, and in some cases replacement of the pump itself. In the electric part, the first level repair consists of the valve body cleaning and replacement of solenoids. As in many of Aisin automatic transmissions, the torque converter lock-up solenoid SLU is the first to wear out, because this solenoid operates with all contaminated and overheated oil from the worn-out torque converter. Another problematic area is the main pressure solenoid LPC (SLT), which transmits all ATF to other solenoids. Specialists recommend to monitor closely the ATF condition in the TL-80SN transmission. In case of rapid ATF contamination after the prior partial change, it is recommended to visit the repair shop for the torque converter repair, without waiting for the friction plate wearout, that may be especially harmful for the AA80E solenoids and the valve body. It is also advisable to replace the filter in due time, and check the pan. The design of transmission components for all RWD Aisin transmissions is considered to be "invincible", having a large structural reserve. This transmission usually operates without serious problems throughout the car lifespan. However to avoid unnecessary repair costs, car owners have to monitor the ATF state, timely visit specialists for the torque converter repair, cleaning of solenoids and the valve body.

These CVTs received new model names: · Honda Airwave (from 2005 to 2007) 2WD – SLSA · Honda Airwave (from 2005 to 2007) 4WD — SLTA · Honda Mobilio/Mobilio (from 2002 to 2005) 2WD — SYEA · Honda Mobilio/Mobilio (from 2002 to 2005) 4WD — SYFA · Honda Mobilio Spike (from 2002 to 2005) 2WD — SFBA · Honda Mobilio Spike (from 2002 to 2005) FWD – SFCA · Honda Fit Aria / Honda City (from 2002 to 2009) 2WD — SERA In fact all these car models were equipped with the same CVT. Transmissions differed only in the drive mechanism (FWD or AWD) and in holders for the CVT case. All other components of these CVTs are absolutely identical. Therefore, these CVTs may become interchangeable with the help of several minor modifications. Modifications usually consist in replacement of holders and some sensors. According to Honda’s manual, SWRA / SWSA transmissions require ATF change вариатора (CVT) every 45 thousand kilometers. When the car operates in harsh conditions ATF should be changed after 22,5 thousand kilometers. Harsh conditions usually include: 1.Frequent and short drives - no more than 8 km in the summer time or 16 km in the cold season (at negative air temperatures). 2. Operations under conditions of high temperatures (above +32 °C). 3. Long engine operation at idle speed, driving with frequent stops in traffic jams. Towing of the trailer or running on mountainous terrain. 4.Driving on dirty, dusty roads or on the roads which are subjected to treatment with anti-icing compound. Honda Fit cars of the first generation equipped with CVTs SWRA / SWSA often face problems with the CVT mount, which tears after the car mileage reaches 50-60 thousand kilometers. Symptoms of this problem include the following: increased vibration, kicks at starting from rest/braking. Visual inspection helps to detect this problem. The mount is oil-filled, therefore transmission specialists recommend using original spare parts.

Transmission general data The 4-speed automatic transmission RE4R03A ( RL4R01А/JR403E, RG4R01А) for engines with the capacity from 2 up to 3-liters was produced by Jatco in 1988 for the off-road vehicle Patrol. This transmission made a good impression and after some adjustments in 1999, it became widely used for RWD Nissan models. This gearbox found application on sport cars 300ZX and on Infiniti Q45 with V8 engines.

In terms of design, this transmission is similar to RE4R01B\A and R4A-EL produced by Mazda. Repair parts for this gearbox are ordered in very rare cases. Therefore, in most cases owners of cars equipped with this transmission prefer to replace it with a new or used unit, rather then to spare time and money on its repair. Typical problems of this transmission are similar to problems of the RE4R01A\B transmission. In most cases, repair specialists order the repair kit of gaskets and seals when they have to deal with this transmission. Sometimes, it is required to replace bushings on cars operating under severe conditions. In rare cases, it is necessary to change one of one-way clutches or set of solenoids, which get cleaned more often than replaced. Not complicated repair procedures for this reliable transmission can add several years to its service life.
