Disadvantages of the Jatco RE4F02A gearbox

  • An old and reliable automatic transmission is only afraid of dirty oil;
  • Typically, solenoids are replaced, especially the torque converter lockup;
  • Prolonged oil starvation in the transmission can also cause the bushings to slip;
  • Another common problem here is the aging of rubber gaskets.
