Automatic Transaxle Outline

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OUTLINE
^ Adopted new JA5A-EL automatic transaxle.
^ Newly designed FF type five-speed automatic transaxle.
- Use of 3 sets of planetary gears, and wider gear ratio setting realizes improvements of acceleration-from-standing-start performance, fuel economy, and quietness. Also, by placement of two sets of planetary gears in parallel with one set, the automatic transaxle is more compact.
^ Adopted 2-4 brake clutch.
- Adopted a wet-type, multi-plate 2-4 brake clutch instead of the 2-4 brake band used in the past, smoother gear switching performance.
^ Adopted centrifugal balance clutch
- The newly adopted centrifugal balance clutch pushes the clutch piston forcefully to low and high clutch by centrifugal hydraulic pressure for smoother gear switching with better response.
