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.
