Disadvantages of the Jatco RS5F92R gearbox

  • However, in large vehicles, especially crossovers, the gearbox bearings wear out quickly;
  • A humming noise from the secondary shaft and differential bearings appears closer to 100,000 km;
  • Lubricant leaks or frozen control cables are also quite common;
  • Sometimes fifth gear may stick due to the fork locks breaking.
