General Information: Notes
- The combination of highest-precision electronic and mechanical technology heralds a new era in automatic transaxle performance.
- The gear shifting clutches use a hydraulic balancing mechanism to enable gear shifting at extra-high engine speeds.
- The number of shafts has been decreased to two, increased use has been made of metal plates and the one-way clutch has been abolished, which all contribute to reduce the weight.
- Increased meshing ratios and improved rigidity of the gear supports and casing result in less ' noise.
- In addition, adoption of a newly-developed automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and an external oil filter eliminates the need to periodically replace the fluid.
- The number of oil cooler feed tubes is increased to two.
