INSULATOR [ET6A-EL, ET6AX-EL]
id0517n3352700
Purpose/Function
• By covering the transaxle case, the insulator improves the heat insulating function and shortens the engine warm-up time when the engine is restarted.
• By promoting engine warm-up when the engine is restarted, the viscosity of the ATF decreases to the appropriate level quickly. As a result, deterioration of fuel economy by the resistance of the ATF is suppressed.
• Noise is reduced by the insulators absorbing the high-frequency noise occurring from the engine compartment.
Construction
• The insulator installed to the AT oil pan is made of hard plastic and the insulators installed to other areas are made of urethane, and they are installed to the automatic transaxle using fasteners.
