TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE FEATURES

BHE050001030T02

CLUTCH
Increased torque transmission capacity | • The clutch cover set load has been increased. • Torsional spring tension has been reduced to reduce NVH.
MT [R15M-D]
Improved operability | • A linked, triple-cone synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 1GR, 2GR and 3GR. • Bushings for the control rod have been adopted. • With the adoption of anti-friction material between the detent springs and balls, shift feeling has been improved. • With the adoption of a low spring constant and high set load type 1-2 return spring, a secure neutral position is assured.
Improved driveability | • To improve drivetrain rigidity, a closed section power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted.
Improved reliability | • A double engagement prevention mechanism (interlock mechanism) has been adopted.
Mis-shift prevention | • A cam-type reverse lock-out mechanism has been adopted.
MT [Y16M-D]
Improved operability | • A ball-type synchromesh mechanism has been adopted. • A triple synchronizer mechanism has been adopted for 1GR, 2GR and 3GR. • Bushings for the control rod have been adopted.
Improved driveability | • In order to obtain more power from the engine, the total gear ratio has been reduced in speed and set in a cross pattern. • To improve drivetrain rigidity, a closed section power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted.
Improved fuel economy | • Six-speed Y16M-D manual transmission has been adopted.
Improved marketability | • Six-speed Y16M-D manual transmission has been adopted.
Improved reliability | • A double engagement prevention mechanism (interlock mechanism) has been adopted.
Mis-shift prevention | • A reverse lockout mechanism has been adopted.
AT [RC4A-EL]
Superior shift quality | • Direct electronic shift control by duty-cycle solenoids has been adopted. • Feedback control system has been adopted. • Centrifugal balance clutch chamber has been adopted. • A plate-type clutch pack replaces the band brake in the 2-4 brake. • Shifting assist at high engine speeds has been achieved due to adoption of an engine-transmission total control system.
High efficiency, compactness, lightweight | • A miniature trochoid gear oil pump with torque converter direct drive has been adopted. • Due to complete electronic control of clutch engagement and release pressure, the forward one-way and overrunning clutches have been eliminated. • Due to the adoption of direct electronic clutch pressure control (direct electronic shift control), the accumulators have been eliminated.
Improved reliability, reduced NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) | • A pleat type oil strainer with fine mesh has been adopted. • A highly rigid transmission case has been adopted.
Improved driveability | • To improve drivetrain rigidity, a closed section power plant frame (PPF) has been adopted. • A control feature for climbing/descending hills has been adopted, improving driveability when climbing/descending.
Improved marketability | • The Sport AT has been adopted. With this feature up and downshifting can be performed with either the shift control switch on the steering wheel or with the one-touch operation of the selector lever.
