And an alternative to the DSG boxes of the DQ200 and DQ250 series on VW, Skoda and Audi cars was Aisin automatic transmissions, which received the designation 09G, 09K and 09M from the company. The TF-60SN transmission and its enhanced versions TF61SN and TF62SN have six forward gears and electronic control of a classic design with a mechanical selector.

The TF60SN version is designed for torques up to 280 Nm, TF61SN up to 400 Nm and TF62SN up to 450 Nm. Together they cover the range of engines with power far beyond 300 hp. for gasoline engines and up to 250 forces for diesel engines, which with a margin covers the range of power units for cars of the concern with transverse engines. And the box can be found literally everywhere: on an inexpensive VW Polo Sedan, on a democratic Skoda Octavia, on the prestigious Passat CC and Skoda Superb, and even on commercial Transporter / Caravella with engines from 1.6 to 3.6 liters. In different versions, the automatic transmission can have an external radiator, a heat exchanger on the automatic transmission and a built-in heat exchanger with a thermostat on the box itself, and can also be equipped with an angular gearbox for all-wheel drive.

Imagine the surprise of car owners who, after 80 thousand mileage, have twitches when shifting fourth, fifth and sixth gears. And then it turns out that a lot of messages on forums and in personal logbooks are devoted to similar defects with runs from 80-120 thousand kilometers. Unfortunately, the repair will not be particularly budgetary, because modern automatic transmissions are very complex, and Aisin valve bodies have their own characteristics.

Among the most risky cars are those that were equipped with a version of the box with an oil-water heat exchanger on the unit itself, for example, Skoda Octavia with 1.8T engines, VW Passat with the same engine and VW Tiguan with engines from 1.4 to 2.0T. But the imported American Passat CC and Passat usually do not face trouble with low mileage: they have an external radiator of the box, and even without proper maintenance, the automatic transmission lasts much longer. For them, runs up to 200-250 thousand kilometers are not a problem, which is quite a worthy resource for a modern automatic transmission. However, there are alternative opinions: Volkswagen told us that they have the statistics of taxi companies, consisting mainly of "local" Skoda Octavia, and there is no talk of mass complaints about the transmission.

The problem would not be so urgent if the oil was changed at least occasionally, but according to the maintenance regulations for these machines, it is not replaced. There is only a recommendation for replacement with a mileage of more than 60 thousand and severe operating conditions. Of course, this is not enough, especially in severe overheating modes. So what happens in the box over time, what to prepare for, and how to avoid?

How to prevent the problem?

Avoiding is always easier than correcting the consequences. The explicit dependence of the resource on the temperature regime can be traced very clearly, so the first recommendation is to keep the temperature at 80-90 degrees. At this temperature, the functioning of the box is almost perfect. The clutches can already work at full load, the pressure is stable, the cellulose elements do not overheat beyond 200 degrees even when the clutch slips, and the plastic and rubber seals and wiring are ready to serve for decades. The best option for achieving the goal is to install a solid external radiator with a thermostat, one and a half to two times more than the standard one on the Passat for the US market. Smaller radiators can be used if you do not tow trailers, do not drive in the mountains, do not drive for a long time at speeds above 110 kilometers per hour and change the oil regularly. And, of course, if your motor fits into the automatic transmission torque limit.

A regular radiator, with a good combination of circumstances, provides a quite acceptable resource, but on older cars and in difficult conditions it easily loses ground. You can install a radiator on an automatic transmission with a heat exchanger on the box body using an adapter. For machines that have a small regular radiator or use a heat exchanger in the main radiator, it's even easier: you just need to connect new hoses.

It would be optimal to use an external fine oil filter. The coarse box filter with a metal mesh on older machines is heavily clogged with friction wear products, and even rare overheating can lead to dust sintering in it, which greatly worsens the passage of oil through it and the operating conditions of the box. The design allows the replacement of the filter without complete disassembly of the automatic transmission, and if the oil is seriously contaminated, this must be done. Unfortunately, it's too late to think about it when the box is already seriously pulling. Still, lowering the temperature, changing and cleaning the oil can significantly prolong the agony or even achieve acceptable box operation for some time.

The automatic transmission thermostat removal operation practiced on a number of machine models is quite effective. It reduces the operating temperature of the automatic transmission with a working heat exchanger and engine thermostat by 85-90 degrees to quite acceptable "slightly less than 100". But in this case, the operation of the automatic transmission still depends heavily on the thermal regime of the engine and the state of the heat exchanger, and it will no longer be possible to reduce the temperature to the optimum.

The second important factor is regular oil changes. The original maintenance schedule for such cars as the Passat B6 and Skoda Octavia A5 did not at all provide for changing the oil in the automatic transmission throughout the entire warranty period. Now the service recommends changing the oil at a run of 60 thousand kilometers, which already significantly improves the chances of the box for a long and happy life, but it is better to change the oil twice as often, with the obligatory removal and cleaning of the pan. Let me remind you that even if you do not know if the oil has been changed in your car before, you can go by carefully changing part of the fluid. But in the case of TF-60SN, this method is not entirely applicable: diluting new oil with old oil and pouring it in this form into a box with an already cleaned pan, at the same time changing the filter, is at least a strange operation.

Pictured: Volkswagen Passat (B6) "2005–10

The recommended G 055 025 A2 oil from VW is quite expensive, and seven liters are required to replace it. Often this fact makes the first owner "take a chance" and not change the oil at all. In fact, almost all oils with this tolerance are compatible with Toyota T-IV ATF, a typical Aisin gearbox oil, the prices of which are much lower. If we are talking about specific numbers, then replacing with the “original”, taking into account the dealer margin, will be about 10-15 thousand rubles only for oil, and in no way inferior replacements will allow you to spend 2.5-3.5 thousand rubles on the oil itself. The price of an internal non-original filter is 500-700 rubles, so you should definitely change it. The price of the original is about 3,500 rubles.

There is no need to do any major alterations to the structure itself. In fact, to ensure a guaranteed resource, a light prophylaxis is enough and nothing more. The classic design is really quite simple and strong. But to complete the picture, you need to talk about what happens in the box if the recommendations are not followed. And at the same time about what you will have to face if the “reliable” box still has to be repaired.

Breakdowns

Contamination of the already inefficient box heat exchanger usually leads to its rapid failure. With runs of more than 200 thousand kilometers or severe oil contamination with wear products, the heat exchanger will have to be replaced. Best of all - on the adapter and an external radiator. The average issue price is about seven to ten thousand rubles, excluding work.

Repair of a gas turbine engine with the replacement of blocking pads is an operation that will have to be done with a run of 100 to 250 thousand kilometers on almost any box of this series. The locking operation here is quite “advanced”, with controlled slip during intensive acceleration. This means that the lining wears out pretty quickly. But Aisin has a very conservative donut shape and overlays that are clearly not designed for aggressive operation. There are enough side effects to wear the linings to the adhesive layer. Here is the loss of pressure due to the complete blocking of the filter, and the failure of the valve body, and the accelerated wear of the mechanics of the box.

The mechanical part of the automatic transmission is strong enough, but it does not tolerate excessive oil pollution. Specifically, dirt kills the pump, rear planetary sun gear bushing, rear cover bushing, and K3 drum bushing. On the boxes of older releases, the washers of the satellites of the front planetary gear also wear out. In addition, the chances of a serious repair of the valve body increase sharply: the “plate” material itself wears out with abrasive, which requires the use of Sonnax 15741-14K repair kits. The latter requires serious preparation and is performed only in a specialized workshop. But companies specializing in the repair of this type of automatic transmission usually have replacement valve bodies.

Valve body problems and pressure leaks in clutch packs C1 and C2 cause rapid wear of the clutches and further intensive oil contamination. And the higher the operating temperature, the more intensively the abrasive wears out the aluminum body of the valve body.

In addition, the rubber seals of the box also suffer. Dirt and heat usually cause piston damage, especially the C2 package, which usually suffers first.

The final chord: when trying to work for a long time on contaminated oil, the retaining ring damages the clutch drum C1.

Almost any automatic transmission repair of this series includes the repair of a gas turbine engine, which is 7-10 thousand rubles. Replacing all rubber elements and necessarily pistons 13408 packages C1 - C2 with retainers - from 6-7 thousand rubles per set. An oil pump will cost from 17 thousand rubles for a factory one and about 10-13 thousand rubles for a restored replacement one. The overhaul of planetary gears and the replacement of bushings is 1,500-4,000 rubles only for spare parts. If there is wear on the friction clutches, their replacement (and steel rings) will cost another 5-8 thousand rubles for each package, and newer sets of 60 teeth are a little more expensive, old ones of 55 are a little cheaper. And, of course, do not forget about the repair of the valve body. There are more repair options here: from replacing individual solenoids (the kit costs about 18 thousand rubles) to installing a replacement valve body for 25-30 thousand rubles.

The price of these operations with work is usually from 80 thousand rubles and more. A lower repair price is possible only if the owner did not bring the matter to a serious pressure drop and preventively replaced the gas turbine engine blocking linings, changed the oil on time and observed the temperature regime. The minimum repair in this case is the replacement of pistons and the overhaul of planetary gears with the repair of the gas turbine engine. The price of such work is at least half as much, but the chances of such an outcome, according to the masters, are minimal. Almost all car owners tend to drive to the last, which means that the repair price is maximum.

Another typical repair is the replacement of the valve body without interfering with the rest of the box. At the initial stage of the appearance of problems, this often allows you to stretch another 20-30 thousand kilometers and is a very successful service "wiring". After which the price for a full repair will increase even more.

Special attention should be paid to the differential of this automatic transmission. At high mileage, it is prone to sticking the axis of the satellites with subsequent destruction of the box body, and vibration due to their wear leads to the destruction of seals and ATF leaks.

Summary

Despite the fact that the trouble-free mileage in most cases is not too long, this box, subject to simple rules and minor modifications to the cooling system, is really reliable and even forgives single overloads. Unfortunately, most cars remain stock until it's too late. And the breakdowns of this complex unit are usually complex and are associated with oil contamination and the destructive activity of aggressive pulp. As a result, the repair price is very solid, sometimes even more than that of preselective boxes, many components of which are practically not subject to wear.

Every year, equipped cars are gaining more and more popularity. Automatic transmission wins the hearts of not only women, but also men. Ease of use, as well as ease and comfort of driving - these are all the merits of an automatic transmission.

Most modern cars began to be equipped with Aisin units. But over time, these machines began to malfunction, and many owners have already encountered various problems several times during the operation of their vehicles. In this article, we will talk about the problems associated with Aisin aggregates and try to give advice on how to solve these issues. Also in the article we will provide several reviews of car owners whose cars are equipped with Aisin automatic transmission.

History and modifications

This wonderful Aisin machine was born in Japan. The units of this manufacturer were manufactured back in the sixties of the last century. The main advantages of these devices were considered to be small dimensions, as the engineers were able to fit the full potential of the box into a small case.

Of course, over time, these units have evolved and acquired new control systems, as well as control of the electronic unit. In modern modifications, there are completely new hydroblocks using new modern hydraulic valves, which are controlled by an electronic unit. Fluid couplings have also undergone changes, and now the blocking is activated at the request of the electronic "brains". Such characteristics made it possible to reduce acceleration to the first hundred and significantly reduced fuel consumption. Of course, such innovations and design complexity adversely affected the reliability of this unit.

Common malfunctions, causes and symptoms

The most common causes of a malfunction are the untimely replacement of Aisin AFW oil. Of course, with a run of 300 thousand kilometers, any automatic transmission will fail, but it happens that the Aisin box does not survive even the second hundred thousand kilometers. All this is due to untimely maintenance, as well as exposing the box to maximum loads. If Aisin is regularly allowed to slip, then his resource is reduced significantly.

If you operate this unit correctly and change the Aisin oil, for example, Aisin AFW, every 40 thousand kilometers or every three years, then this automatic device will serve its owner for many years.

The most common signs of breakdowns in this box are jerks at the time of switching from 4 to 5 speed. Of course, these symptoms also appear in the opposite direction, that is, when shifting from fifth to fourth gear. For these units, a jerk from first to second speed is the norm, so you should not worry. The main culprit of all breakdowns is considered to be the hydraulic control unit, in which the solenoids are built in, the on-board computer is responsible for their control. In the process of wear, metal-paper chips are formed inside the box, and if you do not change the oil for a long time, these chips clog the microfilters inside the solenoid. This results in a difficult passage of the oil flow, which leads to an accelerated wear process.

Another point of failure of the Aisin gearbox is wear, as well as the metal intermediate plates located between them. To get rid of this problem, you will have to completely sort out the unit and clean all parts from chips and other deposits.

The torque converter is also a weak link in these machines. The blocking disc inside the torque converter lives no more than 150 thousand kilometers, which leads to jerks and vibrations at the moment of movement.

Quite often there are Aisins, the wear of which was at the limit. As a result, these boxes could not quickly shift into the desired gear, and if this happened, then the shift was with a big blow. Fortunately, today there are all the necessary spare parts for the repair of these units.

Many experienced drivers know that these machines cannot be subjected to extreme loads, especially slipping or towing other vehicles.

Owner opinions

Alexander, city of Ufa, Volvo car

I bought my car almost new a few years ago, since then I have done several technical maintenance of the machine and filled in strictly Aisin ATF AFW oil. I have not found any problems with the box over the years of operation, the car behaves confidently, without a hint of wear. In general, I think the box is very successful, especially this unit pleases me in dense city traffic.

Egor, city of Kazan, Toyota car

I have long wanted to buy a Japanese car with a real Japanese machine. I consider my Toyota the best car for a small budget. On a run of 150,000 kilometers, I had to replace the valve body along with solenoids. Also the filter, after which the problems with jerks disappeared. Drove after repair for 60,000 kilometers, and the car behaves like new.

Nikolay, Tyumen city, Volkswagen car

Immediately after buying my car, I had to repair the box. Symptoms of breakdowns were huge jerks at the time of the transition from 3rd to 4th gear. At first I did not know about this problem, but after stalling in the snow, the car completely stood up dead weight. I had to call a tow truck and take the car to the service, where the masters, having disassembled the box, identified several breakdowns. I replaced the oil pump, valve body and 1 clutch pack, and also filled in new Aisin ATF6004 oil. Repair came out very expensive, but I do not regret it. Now I ride how I want.

Eugene, Khabarovsk city, Audi car

I have been driving my car for the fifth year already, during this time I had to repair the box three times. My car has a unit from the manufacturer Aisin, which is famous for its reliability. To my great amazement, these repairs did not cost me much, unlike other competitors. During the entire period of operation, I changed the oil three times and washed the valve body. At the moment, the car has a mileage of 200,000 kilometers, and it behaves completely adequately.

Summary

Summing up, we will draw some conclusions regarding this device. In general, the unit from Aisin can be considered a reliable machine. If you close your eyes to some design flaws and miscalculations, then this machine is able to easily move about 250 thousand kilometers. Of course, subject to timely maintenance and the use of only original oils and spare parts.

Aisin is a Japanese engineering company that manufactures components for cars and other equipment. Aisin automatic boxes are installed on cars of many manufacturers. These include: BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Kia. The first three-speed automatic transmissions were produced by this manufacturer back in the 60s. Even then, they won recognition due to the reliability of the units produced.

The manufacturer is constantly improving Aisin automatic boxes, applying the latest developments and technologies, improving the quality and performance of the equipment. Modern automatic transmissions "Aisin" have a small weight and size, which makes it possible to use them in small car transmissions.

Principle of operation

The main unit of the automatic transmission is the valve body. The task is the distribution of transmission oil (ATF), which is supplied under high pressure to the inlet of the valve body. The oil is pumped by a special pump that creates a pressure of several atmospheres. The valve body redirects the jet to the clutches, which open to change gears. Inside it has many channels in which sets of sensors and solenoids are installed.

The direction of oil movement depends on the position in which the clutches are located. It varies depending on the engine speed and transmission mode. The electronic engine control unit (ECU) controls and controls the processes. The ECU transmits impulses using solenoids. These are solenoid valves consisting of a magnetic rod with a copper winding.

When voltage is applied to the valve, a magnetic field is created and the core is pushed outward, clearing the way for oil. When the tension is removed, the springs return the core to its original state and the valve closes. Each valve performs a specific function:

• turning channels on and off;
• adjustment of oil flow directions;
• control over the amount of oil passing through the channels per unit of time.

Automatic transmissions of this type are five- and six-speed. Sometimes there are more transmissions. The advantages of automatic transmission "Aisin" are:

• effective valve body, which makes it possible to minimize the dimensions of the gearbox;
• automated gearbox control, which allows you to increase the smoothness of the ride and save fuel;
• high reliability;
• simplicity of design and the possibility of repair and replacement of oil;
• good supply of spare parts.

Thanks to these qualities, the Aisin automatic transmission has won a significant share of the automatic transmission market. Many automakers have appreciated the good combination of reliability and ease of maintenance of these units.

Common faults

Most often, malfunctions are associated with the need for a more timely oil change. For the correct functioning of the automatic transmission, it is required to change the oil every 40 thousand kilometers or every 3 years. Signs of a breakdown can be jerks when switching from 4 to 5 speed and back. Jerks during the transition from 1 to 2 speed should not attract attention. This is normal for Aisin boxes. The cause of the malfunction is wear, as a result of which metal-paper chips form in the automatic transmission. It clogs the microfilters inside the solenoid and impedes the passage of oil.

Malfunctions may be associated with wear of the friction discs. When repairing, it is required to completely sort out the box and clean the parts from chips and plaque. To prevent breakdowns, these units are not recommended to be subjected to such extreme loads as slipping. To avoid problems associated with premature failure of the Aisin box, you must follow the operating rules:

• warm up not only the engine, but also the automatic transmission, switching its modes in order to warm up and distribute the oil through the channels;
• do not shift the Aisin transmission to neutral at every stop or when driving downhill;
• do not switch the direction of movement in the automatic transmission until it comes to a complete stop;
• keep the temperature at 80 - 90 ° C.

The Aisin valve body is an element with high reliability, but it must have high accuracy in operation. Therefore, in case of any transmission malfunctions, you need to contact the service center, where they will make high-quality and prompt repairs.

To increase the resource of the gearbox, it is necessary to carry out preventive and current repairs in time and prevent serious breakdowns. The availability of spare parts for this automatic transmission is good. Service centers usually have the necessary parts in stock or on order.

This applies to almost all brands - Nissan, Honda, Lexus, Toyota, Mitsubishi. I must say that the Japanese have fairly reliable models of automatic transmissions. One of these is the Aisin automatic transmission. But she also gets into trouble. In our article, we will talk about the features of the Aisin automatic transmission 4-st and 6-st, as well as the reviews of car owners about this transmission.

Characteristic

So what is this transmission? This is Japanese-made, which can be designed for a different number of steps. Initially, only four-speed boxes were produced. Now the automatic transmission "Aisin" 6-speed has gained great popularity.

Such a box is installed on most cars of the budget and middle class. As for the premium segment, an eight-speed AA80E gearbox is provided here. The Aisin automatic transmission device includes:

• Torque converter.
• Hydroblock.
• Planetary gear set.
• Differential (applies to front-wheel drive cars).
• Cooling system.
• Pump.
• Control system.

The inside of the box is filled with special oil. This is ATP fluid. It not only lubricates rubbing parts, but also allows you to transmit torque, performing the function of a "wet" clutch.

Reviews

Motorists in reviews of the Aisin automatic transmission note that it is quite reliable. Among the advantages of this box in the reviews, they note:

• Small yet efficient hydraulic unit. This contributes to a more compact box dimensions (which is especially important for passenger cars) and provides effective lubrication of parts.
• Fully automated box control. This allows you to use less fuel.
• Smooth switching of speeds.
• Good dynamic characteristics. If a conventional torque converter slows down acceleration, then the Aisin automatic transmission has an indicator no worse than on the mechanics.
• Reliability. These boxes show a good resource in adverse conditions. So, before a major overhaul, such a car can run about 400 thousand kilometers.
• Simple construction. This allows not only to save on repairs, but also to perform independent maintenance. So, replacing the ATP fluid can be done by hand. It is enough to buy the appropriate oil for the Aisin automatic transmission. But also do not forget about the cleaning element. Together with the oil, the filter in the Aisin automatic transmission also changes.

Some cons

With frequent loads and the use of a sports mode, the automatic transmission torque converter clutch may become unusable. Also changes its color and oil. It turns from red to black. fluid contamination must not be allowed. In the event that the piston friction has been worn down to iron, the oil is saturated with an adhesive composition. This negatively affects the operation of the valves of the hydraulic unit. The spools can stick both “hot” and “cold”, preventing the solenoids and springs from opening fluid channels in time. This leads to a loss of traction and increased wear of the clutches in the packages.

Service

The manufacturer recommends changing the oil in the automatic transmission every 100 thousand kilometers. And if the car is used in extreme conditions (frequent traffic jams and driving at low temperatures), this period must be halved. Replacement requires 7 to 10.5 liters of ATP fluid. A fine filter is also required. It is felt, with a double membrane. It must be changed at the same frequency as the gear oil itself.

Diagnostics

How to understand that the box needs repair? Several third-party signs can report this:

• Jerks when trying to pick up speed. This usually happens when shifting from first to second gear.
• Parking kicks. This is felt when the driver moves the box selector from Park to Drive. It looks like the car is taking off.
• Loss of acceleration. This manifests itself in slipping in one of the gears, or in several at once.

You also need to monitor the oil level. If it is not enough, this will lead to a drop in pressure in the system, as well as overheating of the transmission.

Repair

How are the above faults repaired? This is done by replacing:

• Sealing elements. These include seals and gaskets. This is a mandatory procedure that must be done if the clutches burn out. Contaminated oil, saturated with wear products, leads to wear of Teflon rings. They are manufactured to certain tolerances. In the case of the slightest wear, the ATP fluid begins to “poison”.
• Frictions. They are not subject to restoration and change in the kit. In the event that the combustion of steel discs has been diagnosed, the oil also changes, as it becomes contaminated with refractory resins. The installation of new steel disks is also carried out.
• solenoids. Their replacement is carried out only after disassembling the hydraulic unit and troubleshooting. The planetary gear is also examined. He, too, may require replacement, but extremely rarely.
• This is the most harmless operation. Usually required after an oil change, when the pan itself was dismantled in order to install the filter.
• Pump bushing and seal. These elements can break over time. This is facilitated by constant vibrations from the friction clutch of the blocking clutch.

Repair features

In the case of work of medium complexity, the valve body is removed and repaired. This operation requires adding 2.2 liters of oil. During the overhaul, the box is dismantled with the repair of the torque converter. The clutch package and completely oil are also changed. In the case of minimal repairs, the pan is removed, the solenoids are cleaned and the filter is changed. At the same time, about one liter of oil is added.

Important: if there is insufficient pressure in the box from a small amount of oil, this will lead to the combustion of the clutch packs.

The repair procedure itself should be performed at specialized services. No matter how simple an automatic transmission is, restoring it is not an easy operation. It is important not only to install the parts correctly, but also to correctly assemble the box.

Electronics

In addition to the mechanical part, there may be electrical malfunctions with the Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. So, the box has weak wiring harnesses, which may cause the control signal to disappear.

In this case, specialists conduct computer diagnostics and read all errors. In "running" cases, only the replacement of the electronic control unit can help. But in most situations, repairs are limited to replacing a set of electrical regulators. These include solenoids:

If you drive for a long time with such a malfunction, it will burn the discs and cause a problem with the rest of the hydraulic plate solenoids.

Other malfunctions

Automatic transmission "Aisin" has weaknesses. It's an oil pump and a seal leak. If this problem is not corrected in time, this will lead to wear of the pump bushing. The latter may also soon become unusable. Its malfunction is accompanied by a characteristic sound in the transmission area. At the same time, the solenoid for blocking the hydraulic transformer of the Aisin automatic transmission wears out.

Another problem that occurs with these boxes is spool plungers. They are in the design of the hydraulic plate itself. Their wear can cause unstable operation of the transmission in different modes.

Summing up

So, we found out what the Aisin automatic box is. Overall, this transmission is pretty reliable. It does not have fragile nodes, as in the DSG or in the variator, and also more resistant to loads and overheats. But nothing lasts forever, so over time the box may require attention. Faults can be both mechanical and electrical. It is important to identify this at an early stage. Otherwise, one problem will lead to many others. It is also worth noting that the selection of solenoid valves for six-speed Aisin boxes is made according to the vehicle's VIN number.

Rare 6-speed automatic transmission AT6 (TF-70SC) by Aisin Co designed in 2006 for front wheel drive vehicles Peugeot middle class with an engine from 1.6 to 2 liters. According to the classification of torque Aisin automatic transmission AT6- medium torque capacity. That is, it transmits torque up to 220Nm (according to Aisin) from 2-liter engines. After a long run-in, this automatic transmission entered the series in the crisis year of 2009 and was produced not at all as actively as the mega-popular older brother TF80.

Only in 2011, the French remembered her again and gave her a second chance.

It is found on our rare American or Asian Peugeot - 308 , 3008 , ... (list -) We saw her on the Mini Countryman and Roadster.

It was developed for Peugeot-Citroen cars on a constructive basis ( AM6High torque capacity - up to 400Nm), "insides" are largely related - .

In 2014, new modifications were released: for lower torque - aggregated with rare engines up to 1.6l on our kids Peugeot 308, 508, 208, RCZ ... And for the same engines - TF-82

As well as GA6F21AW) it became possible to meet on more popular cars in repair Mini Cooper(F55, F45, F56, One, B47, B38).

This compact boxAT6has an electronic control integrated into the design of the automatic transmission itself. At the same time, it is designed as "sporty", where the 6th gear is the maximum and there is no "top" speed for economical driving on high-speed autobahns, as is the case with 6-mortars with the "5 + E" formula (with an economical gear).

The box is designed to be "indestructible", surviving to the very old age of the car, when it makes no sense to repair the box. But a violation of simple automatic transmissions can lead this box to overhaul even before 200 tkm.

As usual, the recommendations of dealers on the timing of changing oil and consumables differ from the recommendations of the Aisinovsky designers. The estimated life of the box before overhaul is highly dependent on the frequency of oil changes and driving style. And it is normal if the first repair is required after 200-300 tkm. Box (computer) n adapts to the driving style and temperament of the driver and can aggressively (like a dzhigit) break down at traffic lights, overloading the clutches and gears of the planets, or can accelerate calmly like a Japanese zen monk, which will allow you to delay the overhaul of the automatic transmission until the death of the car from old age.

Filter - 354010A. Plastic with a felt membrane, unlike the TF-80 filter. The same filter design began after 2011 on new modifications of the TF80SC.

Changed with every second oil change. Oil - synthetic type Toyota WS (about 6.1 liters), which works well at low temperatures and allows you to heat the machine less in winter before driving. Checking the oil level is carried out in the same way as on the older brother, according to the level of the overflow hole. Masters recommend changing the oil on a young car after 100 tkm, and with age, oil quality checks show that an oil change should be done after 60-80 tkm, which also depends on the aggressiveness of driving.

Pick up repair kits - key on the left (together with the related TF80).

For the first overhauls, a Gasket and Seal Repair Kit - 354002A is ordered. It is taken for the sake of a set of Teflon rings, which wear out primarily from operation with dirty oil and overloads. The wear rate of friction clutches and "iron" strongly depends on the wear of the rings. Rubber consumables are completely changed when the boxes overheat and after 8-12 years of operation. In addition to the rings, oil seals and valve body gaskets are also an important component of the bulkhead.

The chain of faults begins with a clogged hydraulic plate and solenoids, which do not supply enough oil to the line of one of the packages, and the machine begins to switch gears with a delay or shock. A typical disease of modern 6-mortars and - hydraulic plate. She really does not like the friction suspension from the torque converter in oil. Frequent oil changes help the hydroplate self-clean.

But the valve body itself has now become practically eternal due to the fact that all the weakest points - the channels through which dirty oil and plungers with spools go - have become part of the design of the solenoids, which is made of an anodized Teflon alloy, which, on the one hand, increases the life of the valve , and on the other hand, the repair of the valve body consists in a simple replacement of the "goat" solenoid.

You just need to remember that the more worn out the rings and rubber gaskets, the more oil the pump drives through the valve body valves to compensate for the losses.

And from this, solenoids work at a higher flow and age faster. Therefore, every time when disassembling and replacing the solenoids (kit 354420A), it is recommended to change the consumables of the Repair Kit. And of course, along with the repair of the valve body, the worn-out friction clutch of the donut is sure to be changed - the main "hot-water bottle" and the "dirty" machine. With burnt oil, not replacing all the clutches is a sentence to the slow death of this wonderful box.
