Toyota A transmission

Toyota Motor Corporation's A family is a family of automatic FWD/RWD/4WD/AWD transmissions built by Aisin-Warner. They share much in common with Volvo's AW7* and Aisin-Warner's 03-71* transmissions, which are found in Suzukis, Mitsubishis, and other Asian vehicles.

Contents

The codes are divided into three sections:

  • The letter A = Aisin-Warner Automatic.
  • Two or three digits.
  • Older transmissions have two digits.
  • The first digit represents the generation (not the number of gears, see A10 vs A20 and A30 vs A40 vs A40D).
  • The last digit represents the particular application.
  • Newer transmission have three digits.
  • The first digit represents the generation. Note: the sequence is 1,2,...,9,A,B with A and B being treated as digits.
  • The second digit represents the number of gears.
  • The last digit represents the particular application.
  • Letters representing particular features:
  • D = Separates 3-speed A4x series from 4-speed A4xD series
  • E = Electronic control
  • F = Four wheel drive
  • H = AWD Transverse mount engine
  • L = Lock-up torque converter

    Applications:

    • These transmissions have a governor gear. Unlike the A140E counterpart which is electronically controlled, the A140L uses a plastic governor gear to select which gear to go into. Over time and wear, this plastic gear's teeth shred and eventually cease to be able to control gears. This results in a transmission that can only shift to first and reverse, but not to any further forward gears. Replacement of this governor gear is relatively inexpensive compared to a replacement transmission as it can be serviced without taking the transmission out of the car.

    Applications:

  • 2007-present Lexus LS 460

  • 2008-present Lexus IS-F
  • 2009-2013 Toyota Crown Majesta

  • 2016-present Lexus RC-F
  • 2016-present Lexus GS-F

    • Gear ratios:

    The AA80E (Aisin TL-80SN) becomes the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission. Smaller parts, a hydraulic circuit with fewer components allow the transmission to maintain the same size as the previous LS 430's unit. The aluminum die-cast case is 10% lighter, yet 30% more rigid, even with two additional gears and a 22% greater torque capacity the new transmission weighs 95 kg or 10% more than the previous unit. With new micro-laser technology gear tooth production tolerances have been reduced 50%. Aluminum has also replaced steel on gear tooth surfaces. Shift times are as low as 350 milliseconds or 41% faster than the previous LS 430's six-speed auto.

    The IS F and LS 460 (with sport package) use Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) which allows for faster shift times. The torque converter can lockup from 2nd to 6th gears. Final drive ratio is 2.937.

    AA80F

    Variant of the AA80E used for the AWD Lexus LS460. Gear ratios are the same, but a shorter 3.133 final drive ratio is used.
