Disadvantages of the Toyota AB60E gearbox

  • This is a fairly reliable gearbox, but it is paired with especially powerful V8 engines;
  • Under active driving the torque converter lockup clutch wears out quickly;
  • The wear debris then clogs the valve body and greatly shortens the life of the solenoids;
  • In the most neglected cases the oil pump bushing breaks and oil leaks begin;
  • The weak points of this automatic include the rubber-coated pistons and the Forward drum.
