Disadvantages of the Jatco JF404E gearbox
- This automatic transmission is reliable, and all problems are related to contamination of the lubricant by wear products;
- Typically, repairs involve replacing the oil and clutch of the torque converter;
- In advanced cases, cleaning the solenoids and channels of the valve body will be necessary;
- The line pressure solenoid valve must be replaced periodically;
- The weak point here is the rear cover of the transmission; it breaks down after 200,000 km.
