Disadvantages of the Aisin AW60-40LE gearbox
- This is a reliable Japanese automatic transmission, and it’s not installed with the most powerful engines;
- Even the torque converter lockup clutch wears out after 250,000 km;
- Then, shaft vibrations cause the oil pump bushing to break, leading to oil leaks;
- And the planetary gear of this transmission is very sensitive to a significant drop in oil level;
- At high mileage, the wiring and input and output speed sensors are often replaced.
