U440E

The U440E unit was designed by Aisin Co in 1999 for small FWD cars Toyota Yariz, Witz and Corolla with 1.3-liter capacity, which replaced the AW60-40 unit. This gear shifting solution usually can be found on the Japanese market of right-hand drive vehicles. The U340 unit produced simultaneously with U440E was chosen by Toyota for Corolla with the engine capacity of 1.5 liters and higher. The U540E unit more known as AQ4 is a quite rare solution for Daihatsu with more simple complete set. This gearbox is also used for American small cars Cadillac, Buick, Ford and Chinese Donfeng, Landwind under names AW80-40LS and AW81-40LS.
