Disadvantages of the Jatco RS6F52A gearbox
- This is a very reliable manual transmission and has no obvious weak points;
- The very first transmissions were notorious for frequent grease leaks along the axle shafts;
- With regular off-road driving, the clutch can fail as early as 100,000 km;
- Around 200,000 km, the expensive dual-mass flywheel often requires replacement.
