Using

The transmission was installed on:

  • Toyota Allion 1 (T240) in 2001 – 2007;
  • Toyota Opa 1 (XT10) in 2000 – 2005;
  • Toyota Wish 1 (AE10) in 2003 – 2009.

Disadvantages of the Toyota K110 gearbox

  • In the early years, the CVT was not very reliable, sometimes it lasted less than 30,000 km.
  • Then the main problem of the transmission became the extremely low bearing life.
  • When the oil is changed infrequently, the valve body channels become clogged and twitching occurs.
  • If you don’t pay attention, you’ll soon face an expensive repair with a belt replacement.
  • Also, the service life of such a gearbox very much depends on the cleanliness of its cooling system.
