Disadvantages of the Jatco RE0F06A gearbox
- The most common cause of failure is transmission overheating due to a clogged radiator;
- The second most common cause is decreased oil pressure, which contributes to rapid wear;
- Wear on the surface of the cones causes the belt to jump and then break;
- The CVT only likes original oil and often does not tolerate alternatives;
- The stepper motor, which regulates the automatic transmission’s gear ratio, often fails.
