U140E

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.
