Disadvantages of the Peugeot AM6 gearbox

  • This automatic transmission is often installed with powerful diesel engines, and the torque converter clutch wears out quickly;
  • Then the wear products clog the valve body, so change the oil more often;
  • Other problems here are related to overheating due to the tiny heat exchanger;
  • High temperatures destroy the O-rings and the lubrication pressure drops;
  • This leads to wear of the clutch packs, then the drums, and other transmission parts.
