AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OUTLINE
- The differential pinion gear has been changed from a two-pinion type to a four-pinion type to cope with the high torque engine.
- Surface treatment of the differential ring gear, output gear, and idle gear has been made stronger to accommodate higher engine torque.
- Increasing the capacity coefficient during normal driving reduces the slip of the torque converter, thereby improving driveability and fuel economy.
- A baffle plate has been installed in the converter housing and transaxle case to reduce friction in the differential gear.
- The detent spring in the parking mechanism is changed from a coil spring type to a leaf spring type due to column shift application.
- Due to the change of detent spring type, the oil pipe on the converter housing has been miniaturized.
