Automatic Trans: Overhaul: General Description: Notes

The combination of highest-precision electronic and mechanical technology heralds a new era in automatic transaxle performance.
The gear shifting clutches use a hydraulic balancing mechanism to enable gear shifting at extra-high engine speeds.
The number of shafts has been decreased to two and increased use has been made of metal plates which all contributes to reduce the weight.
Increased meshing ratios and improved rigidity of the gear supports and casing result in less noise.
In addition, adoption of a newly-developed automatic transmission fluid (ATF) increases the service life of the fluid.
The number of oil cooler feed tubes is increased to two.
