Mnm Mcds they are 750k miles because semi’s travel WAY more miles than a passenger vehicle does.. 750kn sounds like a lot but really, it’s decent not great
Scotty I worked at aisin for a while as a line inspector, they are an amazing company. I only temped there but they make great transmissions and other products.
I worked for aisin in london, ky for about a month. Worse place i ever worked. Six days a week, 12hr shift, only day off was sunday. And they fired me because i had to leave when my wife totaled her car. I even asked my insert "japanese word for leader" can i leave and she told me its ok and to go. Got a phone call half way to hospital to where my wife was telling me i no longer need to come in the next day, that i was being let go. They may make good transmissions but they treat their employees as disposable.
as a japanese worker working in japan i agree. I work from 7am-8pm mon-sat sometimes even sunday. But here in mitsubishi we can take leaves and leave early if we have appointments or anything. I even have a workmate who only shows up when he wants to! lol
I Just love Scott's style of matching his deep automotive engineering experience with his funny style of presentation... From his ever moving hands to peeping from the trunk and funny in display pictures! Keep up d good work sir!
I had to pause the video when you said the word turkey and I saw a turkey leg in the photo I got hungry and had to go eat something but I’m back now watching the rest of the video
You surely dont know your car if your guess is Toyota. Try looking at those motors, you will see so many parts, motors, pumps, made by Aisin, Denso, Bosch. I rate these 3 companies as top 3 suppliers of the parts inside your cars. Even American cars lmao
My '96 Accord still has the original automatic transmission and motor with 378,500+ miles on it. I wish that I could buy another brand new '96/97 Accord!
my 1997 acura cl transmission, KO at around 80k miles :( , bought a brand new odyssey 2004 similar issue. with the honda brand i had to replace starter and alternators before 100k miles, then after left the honda brand and went toyota never looked back, ...
I was going to say the same thing. I’ve been told over and over my 96 XJ has a Toyota (AW) transmission in it. Not every transmission shops works on it, but hasn’t been a problem because it still works great...knocking on wood.
I got an AX15 in my 88 right now and it works great. There's something like 300K on it. I bought it used about 4 years ago. Although I did manage to make my Peugeot BA10/5 trans work for 25 years, the last 4 years of it were behind a 360HP stroker engine.
Thanks Scotty. Another Very Good Video. I'm a ASE Certified Master Tech. I've Been working on cars 45 yrs ,(Since I was 11 yrs but getting paid for it by 14 yrs) I'm kinda Surprised you let your Automatics go to 40,000 miles between Fluid,/Filter Servicing. We were told in Tech School (Automatic Trans Class) AAI that 22,000 was about the Ceiling due to fluid breakdown, contaminsnts, and hot/Cold Variations that happen within Such mileage use.. They said key factor to long Automatics life is keeping heat down ... Ie if you over heat enhine the trans gets overheated too. Due to lines of tranny going to and from Radiator. So bypassing to a aftermarket cooler for air cooling fluid was recommended I Always Change my Fluid in my Automatics at 18-22,000. I've never lost a Automatic that was sound internally before I got it ... So I haven't lost one... Most of mine Have been 3 speed Torque flites as well. Which are good reliables too.
@@10juanh Toyota made Heafty and Great Lesps in Advancements in Automatic Transmissions from 1984 forwards. I worked For Larry Miller Toyota in Phoenix for 18-months 85-86. Thise 4 Speeds with the Toggle off on OD units were awesome. This Guideline Rile was baseline Guaranteed to keep Any Suto Trans Alive period Exclamation point.. One customer Trade in was 84 Celics Supra 6 fuel injected with Aftermarket Turbo added BY demand of this very customer in late 83. After they blew up 2 turbos from improper maintaince the traded it in because it needed new one again... Our mechanic replaced turbo before it came on used lot side. I took it out n Decided to Shock the Torwue Convertor and See how low I could get the turbo to kick in !! Blipped Throttle 4-5 X while Power braking it n Then suddenly Released Brake Simultaneously flooring Throttle. The Supra Was dpinning not Reats as Car went dideways from 35-55 MPH without letting out of Throttle a gentle Steering adjustment brought car to Straight line.. by then it was time to get off throttle for upcoming left curve on road. Yep pretty awesome. I'm not a Turbo fan but that car was hot! That was 96 n the new Celicae and 2 we SR5 pu had turbos factory while MR2 now had factory optional Superchargers for the most part Toyota held the Quality until about 2001 then Ran into a few mistakes. They're still in Top 5 of affordable non Rich people imports
My 96 Volvo 850 uses a Aisin Trans. No problems at all in 23 years. My daughter drives a 87 volvo 240Dl which uses Aisin-Warner trans. Just change fluid and these Trans seem to run forever. Scotty is right on. They are the best built trans.
This mechanic seems legit, I have actually met some honest to God mechanics and I gotta feeling Scotty is another. And no, I'm not being paid by Toyota
Question: What are the intervals for changing the fluids in your car? i.e. Oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc.
I started listening to Scotty about two months ago, I was looking for an answer to a question I had, I did not get the answer but enjoyed just listening to SCOTTY talk and that is why I am on here today. Scotty make one think he is talking just to you in a conversation
bought a 2013 corolla.... just because it had a good trans..... i could have bought a new corolla hatchback... but that cvt... no thank...great... and spot on video
My wives 2009 Toyota Corolla has never gone under the knife. A really solid car plus the interior looks like new. Toyota gets my vote for a very reliable car.
I’d agree I’d include ZF transmissions too! They’re amazing and go from a 300 hp V6 application to 840 hp demon application! They shift better than the Ford or GM product up and down! I honestly think the auto trans is the weakest point in non FCA domestic vehicles. Also DCT transmissions are amazing to drive. They’re a lot more responsive than even some of the best torque converter based automatics because they don’t need line pressure to make a quick, snappy shift. Complex and expensive but very efficient (based more on a manual trans design) and very quick!
I agree with you, I have a 2016 bmw 328i, which has 8-speed ZF trans. And I have 2016 Acura ILX with 8-speed Dual clutch auto. but does a torque converter. The ZF has little delays between gears, but very smooth, but DCT shifts very fast, the only problem with that particular trans is jerky shifts in the lower gear.
You're the greatest mechanic in the world,by giving out info and helping .The county should give you the Nobel prize winner award.Thank you and God bless.😀✌
For sure some are better than others, but I think a lot of it is because of a lack of maintenance. If someone told me that 90% of owners NEVER changed the fluid in their transmissions I would tend to believe it. All stop and go city driving in hot weather, carrying too much weight, jackrabbit starts, low fluid levels etc. all take a toll on automatic transmissions. Ask a transmission rebuilder how often he changes the fluid in his own vehicles, he will give you an ear full. TheReaper!
bought a Honda with horrible speed change, 5th wasnt even an option, changed the transmission oil and it was like another car! still miss that smooth transmission
They've had some problems with their 9HP transmission. From jerky/sluggish gearshifts to glitches in selecting Park and the possibility for the car to roll away.
Lol I have a Peugeot 406 coupe with the ZF 4HP20 transmission and it’s the worst. Sealed for life, basically everything was broken after 90k miles and needed a $4000 rebuild. Same at 150k miles. Glad it’s not my daily
Hey brother Scottie I love your work around to getting to the point so manufacturers won't blackball you or try to sue you laugh out loud. Another great video you are appreciated thank you brother.
My Volvo has an Aisin 5 speed automatic transmission. Aisin is part of the Toyota Keiretsu along with Nippon Denso and several other subcontractors. Just change the fluid regularly and don't drive like a maniac and these transmissions just keep going.
You can't be sued for giving an opinion. It's not slanderous if you're telling the truth based on your experiences, and who can prove that it wasn't your experience?! Now, if you told an outrageous lie, like - Dodge transmissions have killed 84,000 people this year!! Then yeah, that could be considered slanderous.
I have a 2013 Ram 3500 single rear wheel 4-wheel drive with the as69rc aisin transmission. Almost 200,000 miles of Towing and being hard on it. Changed the fluid only once. Still going strong.
Dave D Scotty has said in a previous video that Honda's automatics are on the weak side, but still generally last a long time as long as they are maintained properly and you're not doing burnouts in them.
Good video Scotty yes I know Chrysler has bad Transmissions but I have a brother-in-law that has a 2003 Ram 1500 with 350,000 miles on it and the transmission fluid and filter has never been changed unbelievable
Just buy a semi-running car for $2k, that will have mostly missed scheduled maintenance. It will lead to you having to change other components, depending on it's history, but shouldn't be too bad if you buy an easy-to-work-on vehicle, like a 90s s10. Just make sure you bring somebody with experience so you dont buy a vehicle that has a blown head gasket or something a little much for your experience. I dont own a vehicle newer than 94, right now because this method is how I find cheap daily drivers.
I live in Italy and in 2004 I purchased a Toyota Avensis (basically an elongated Toyota Corolla made for Europe) 1.8 VVT-i (1ZZ-FE) equipped with a 4 speed U341E automatic transmission made by Aisin in Japan. Despite full service history, performed exclusively by the local Toyota dealer, I never asked to the dealer to change the ATF and the ATF filter, also because Toyota explicitly wrote in the user manual that it is not necessary under nornal driving conditions. I live in a montainous region and, despite driving almost always very calmly, after 12.5 years and about 72,000 miles, the torque converter seal started to leak ATF on the floor. The dealer replaced the torque converter and its seal. Afterward, the automatic transmission of my car performed perfectly, as always, but with one defect: the torque converter lock-up clutch didn't engage anymore, and the error code P0741 appeared on the scanner display. Check engine light on, VDC off, TCS off. Long story short: I ended up with a new automatic transmission, remanufactured by Toyota, installed by the local Toyota dealer. My question is: what could have been the root cause of the torque converter seal starting to leak ATF on the floor? Total lack of maintenance? Age? Mountaineous roads that keep the ATF hotter than usual? Clogged ATF filter due to the torque converter clutch lining being reduced to dust due to engaging/disengaging cycles driving up the mountains? My best answer is the latest I wrote, also because the torque converter lock-up clutch is not a multi-plate clutch; instead, it is a single layer ring-shaped clutch, not the strongest type, I guess.
@@bronsondrewry2491 yep got a ZF 4 speed in my Land Rover Discovery great transmission never had a problem with it, keep the fluids changed and they last longer than the other wearable parts
Aisin made the 6-speed manual transmissions for the Honda S2000, Miata and Mini Cooper. They weren't limited to just automatic transmissions. From what I've heard, they were all great transmissions.
most transmissions will work fine, problem is that americans think cars are magic go-go machines and not incredibly complex machines so noone changes oil or rotates their tires, and people drive them like a-holes, that's why "cars today don't last"!
I have to agree and Americans do tha to their Japanese cars too. "So reliable ia don't have to do nothin'." They they wonder why they borke down on the highway (just saw a 2 year old Honda Accord on the side of a highway. I will say since the driver was not around I do not know why. When the Taurus first came out I saw one like this too, then I saw the driver walking away with a gas can in his hands. :)
Sadly...no. When you add complexity and reduce weight/cost, stuff doesn't last so long. If you just expect a car to last through a lease period or want to sell more cars or want to eliminate fleet mpg fines that's a win. If you wanted a new car that lasts like an old one I honestly have no advice. AFAIK they do not exist. Ones that aren't money pits straight after the warranty period *cough* BMW exist but absolutely nothing is going to hit the 40 year mark.
Evidently you are unaware that buyers of cars determine the price and features of a car, not the manufacturers. The proof is that lots of people are willing to pay more for the cars and pickups that Toyota manufactures. Toyota cars cost more but they last longer. Planned obsolescence is a myth. Lots of people are unwilling to pay for quality, it's their choice.
I agree. Americans drives like a crazy, they see a green light and they think they are rockets. If the stop signal is at 50-100 ft, It doesn't matter, they accelerate to the bottom.
Scotty. I wouldn't have done the research before buying a new car before I saw this video but I will now. Thank you. Can't promise when that's going to be, though, my 2002 car is still running like a champion and if it ain't broken.....
yeah they're good but BMW and Mercedes doesn't give you a service interval for them so people don't change the pan and the fluid they end up braking down also on German brands ZF is good but stay away from Getrag i personally had issues with it
Go on Zf's website they will tell you how often to change it and what kits you need. When you buy the kits they also come with a guide on how to do the oil change
The 2011 and 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD has the six-speed Aisin automatic transmission with sport or manual-shift mode. These 2011 and 2012 Fusion Sport's do last long, because the transmission is made in Japan and it is more reliable than other Fusion models. You are better off getting a Fusion Sport AWD for a first car, whether if you are a student or a novice driver.
My 2008 Honda Fit sport has a five speed automatic transmission and it run just as good or better since the day I purchased it. Keeping up on regular basic maintenance is the key to getting good service from your vehicle.
I’m gonna go with GM. I own a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the old 5 speed Allison transmission and it’s just a beast. Also Chevrolet’s old 6L80E 6 speed was best on the market around 2007 to 2010. But yeah, aisin transmissions are alright, my dad has a 2015 ram 1500 with the 8 speed but they never want to shift, idk why but great video Scotty! Keep em coming ;)
Lol.. I'm sorry Scotty. I don't see Toyota transmissions in buses and semis and dump trucks.. I'll stick with my Allison transmission behind the Duramax
Justin Martin Except that you can put that 5spd Allison through excessive wear and torture and they still function. My buddy has a 2005 2500hd as well and has 547,000 miles on it and has had one thing replaced on his transmission due to how much he tows and uses it. Idc how good you say ram and fords half and one ton transmissions are, nothing is better than an Allison period.
I would like to see a video about the best manual transmissions. my opinion is that Mazda manual transmissions are the best, but I would like to hear your opinion.
Dang Mazda? If its the miata 5 speed then yeah thats a decent arguement. Id still go with honda manual or toyota manual maybe 90s Nissan manual they were really good.
I've had 4 Gm car's with automatic transmissions all with over 150,000 to 200,000 miles on them none ever failed,had a Nissan and a Toyota the the automatic trans failed in.the only US made vehicle that had a trans fail that I owned was a1984 Chevy S10. I had a 1989 S10 that i had over 200,000 on it and it never failed.
I have a 1 ton 4 wheel drive GMC pickup with the 6-speed Allison automatic and I currently have 200 thousand miles on the transmission with no problems and it shifts very smoothly.
My daughter has a Mercury Villager minivan, 1995, which now has over 348,000 miles. It has the original auto transmission in it. I did have to pull the valve body and put in a new solenoid pack, maybe at about 315,000 miles, don't exactly recall. Don't know who made it, but its pretty good!
. Nisssan. It's actually a Nissan Quest rebadged as a Mercury since Ford already came out with another minivan that year. Maxima used the same AT. The V6 engine is from a 1994 Maxima too
GOD, that's a good news !! I love the new Peugeot 508. & I just found out that they're using Aisin gear boxes on about all of their cars now. Thank you, Sir !!
I've got Aisin AT80 in my Lancia Delta, but still think that the latest ZF transmissions used in BMWs and Alfa Giulia are the best, most efficient and almost as fast as twin clutch transmissions.
With all due respect....my wife’s 1999 Toyota Camrys transmission went out @ 112 K. My 2002 Chrysler 300m went WELL beyond that and it was a far superior car in every way.
Your actually trying to Argue 02 Chrysler 300m's have better transmissions than Camry's.. lol 300m's are junk, everyone I've ever seen had transmission problems.
If that is true which i highly doubt, that means you must have either gotten a bad 1 that every batch has from any manufacturer, a previously abused used car, or that you didn't maintain everything by the book.
I bought a Chevy equinox 2005 with no maintenance history, car has 166700 miles on it, the car run perfectly... What can I do to keep it going for another 100k miles???????
The automatic transmission in my dad's 89 Toyota Supra finally started to go out, 30 years and the reverse finally stated to go. We swapped it out with a Toyota W58, 5 speed manual transmission that came out of another 1989 Supra, it works great. Love the Toyota
I love your vids scotty, BUT.... Never in the history of Ram Cummins trucks did they use an Allison.. They always used Chrysler trans and now the Aisin.. Chevy has always used the Allison behind the Duramax
The ram diesel did come with the option of a 6 speed Allison trans,. same as in the chevy. Not the first time GM and Dodge have shared tranny's. In the early 90's the NV4500 5spd manual was in both the chevy and dodge diesel and gas, NV=New Venture was a collaboration between chevy and Chrysler.
My moms auto trans on her 99’ 3.5RL has over 400k on original trans. We’ve owned the car for over 14 years. It’s on its second engine but still commuting every day 🤙
Scotty, couldn't agree with you more about the quality of AISIN products... because your point probably applies to their MANUAL transmissions too. I'm the original, sole owner of a '99 Jeep Wrangler TJ. And after 19 years and 450,000 miles, the Aisin-built AX15 5- speed manual is still going strong, problem-free (all I have ever done is changing the fluid every couple of years). Love your vids!
My stepdad was a Napa mechanic for many years before going to an ASIN factory that he has worked at for 20yrs. It's funny where we live we say it like Isin (eyesin). He does alot of diecast work. When we buy a vehicle, it's mandatory for him to check it out first and He's still the family mechanic.
Well, BMW buys their transmission from Getrag and ZF, and both companies typically make great automatic and manual transmissions. Rag on German cars all you want, but BMW and Mercedes do have great automatics if driven respectfully and if the fluid is changed at some point. VW used to buy GM transmissions for their cars, so that's why VW gets a bad rap. For BMW you have to worry about the cooling system and suspension more than the engine itself or the transmission. With Mercedes, you have to worry about everything except the transmission. Most VWs, that aren't dual clutch, are manuals, so I think they just bought the cheapest GM made transmissions for those that can't or don't want to drive a manual.
@@arorakevin Please don't. BMWs are money pits even IF I nothing major breaks. Stuff starts breaking at the 5-7 year mark and continues until you immolate it with jellied gasoline. It might even be minor stuff but it all costs bank and while some people consider simplicity golden, none of those people appear to be German automotive engineers from the last 2 decades.
No car manufacturer always makes perfect cars, and certainly not BMW, but the suppliers for their transmissions, both ZF and Getrag are second to none. Isn't this video about the best transmissions? BMW and even Mercedes have used ZF transmissions. Anyway, none of the BMW I've had were money pits. Not all of their aftermarket parts are as expensive as you say they are. Their engines and transmissions, if taken care of, are actually very reliable on the most part. Any car will need new parts if dailyed after 5-7 years. Some of the older BMW engines like the M42 will last as long as the famous Ford straight 6 engine. Don't generalize about BMW because of a few failure they have made. That's like criticisizng GM for making bad transmissions and saying everything is bad about GM, but they do make great engines like the LS engine, which a lot of people apparently swap.
A buddy of mine asked me if he should change the transmission fluid on his 2004 BMX X5 six years ago at 180k miles. He said it had never been changed. He pulls heavy trailers with this from Arizona to Texas monthly. He now has 240k miles on it, never took my advice, and dog gone it.... That thing is still running strong. CRAZY!
He might still want to change the fluid and filter for a piece of mind. Also, long distance drives will do less wear on a transmission, because the car isn't shifting gears that much. It's bumper to bumper traffic that puts stress on transmissions... pulling a trailer or something doesn't really have anything to do with the transmission. Alas, at least the 180k mark shows that ZF did make a good transmission for your friend's SUV.
Correct. As a former Chrysler tech, they NEVER used an Allison. 4 speeds were a heavier duty torque flite. 6 speeds are a 68RFE, based on the 45 and 545RFEs and of course the Aisin 68and 69RCs. Sorry Scotty, the Allison is still a tougher tranny than the Aisin. In stock form both are actually great. Turn up the power and the Allison lives longer, the Aisin becomes fragile.
I bought a 2006 CheVrolet Impala at 170,000 miles. At 174,000 the transmission locked up. I took to a transmission mechanic completely rebuilt it. The mechanic asked me how many miles it had and I told him. He said that’s about right. Those GM 4 speed transmissions were junk. He had impala’s in front of me and two behind me. The car now has 212,000 miles and it runs fine.
Hey Scotty, I know you're a Toyota guy. My wife and I recently inherited her grandmother's 2003 Camry and it only has 45,000 miles on it. It's due for a service soon and I was wondering what oil brand or type you would recommend for it. What other things should we keep an eye out for with this model year? We want it to last for as long as possible. Thanks! Love your channel! I've been a subscriber for a long time!
If you have the service records, see what type of oil was used. If it was conventional (not synthetic), consider keeping the car on conventional, though going to synthetic at that mileage should be OK. If it was synthetic, keep it there. Conventional oil prob. recommend Castrol or Valvoline. Most synthetic oil is fine; the best one is probably Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum, depending on what viscosity is recommended by Toyota for your car.
Follow the manual. Change the oil and filter every 5K. Do it YOURSELF. NEVER trust a quick change place or the dealer. If you have a TRUSTED mechanic, he can do the changes. You should buy your own oil and filter. If you don't have a local, trusted mechanic, find one! Tire changes, always hand torque the lug nuts. Use genuine Toyota ATF and the correct Toyota coolant.
@@wholeNwon 100% agree, make sure the trans fluid is WS like Toyotas fluid. Synthetic is the best imo because it clings to the upper engine better than regular oil and flows better in colder temps.
Charles, Obviously you don't have a long commute to work daily in a major metropolitan area. "Oaring" in slow stop and go traffic is definitely not fun or cool. I will take an automatic any day.
@@wutang9068 You say that because you don't have much experience with a manual. I have been driving a manual for 4 years and changing gears and pressing the clutch has become a second nature. Its not a problem for me. Also i prefer manual because my car is not that powerful and when i want to overtake someone, i slam the 3rd gear and overtake easily
The editing on your videos is the best! So many funny photos and references. I’m the furthest thing from a “car guy” but I’ve watched nearly dozens of your videos for the sake of the entertainment value. 😂
The original Jaguar V12 saloons used Borg Warner 3 speeds but when they switched from carburettor to fuel injection they put a GM400 3 speed in them. They were bomb proof and silky smooth.
Between the Aisin 6 speed in my v6 Camry and every other 6-9 speed FWD transmission I've experienced in a bunch of different rental cars there's no comparison. The GM 6 speeds are slow to shift and jerky in the lower gears, the Ford 6 speeds have the ratio spread all wrong and take way too long to downshift for power, the ZF 9 speed is just a total drivability abomination (their RWD 8 speed is jerky too). Unfortunately it seems like Aisin still has a few software issues to work out in their new 8 speed units, but initially the 6 speeds needed some updates as well before they were solid units.
jblyon2 I've had multiple v6 camrys and also es350s and the u660e is a pathetic transmission. Shift great and works great until itdoesn't. Had 3 go out on me.
Guaranteed you had someone check the fluid level when it was at full operating temp. The amount of fluid it loses when checked hot is just enough to cause shifting problems and eventual failure. That's the biggest design blunder they made on the things. From what I understand the ambulance chasers wouldn't let them specify a level check at full operating temp because the fluid could cause burns and then they could get sued, so a lower temp was specified. It's poorly trained service techs that cause most of the failures. Of course a simple dipstick would have made that all moot, but then you're just talking too much sense.
Hold your horses a bit regarding the ZF transmissions. Manufacturers buy them in to fit in their cars and usually program the software themselves. The 8 speed ZF is buttery smooth in BMW's, I have heard a lot of complaints about the same gearbox in other uses and it's because the software hasn't been written that well.
@@ruk2023-- in most cases, it's the communication between the tranny manufacturer's TCU and the engine manufacturer's ECU that needs more testing and fine-tuning. Which they don't do that well these days.

How about Who makes the best manual transmission cars in the world? If you have not done it already
Who makes the best diesel engines
I like trains🚂
Hey Scotty, the collaboration between Ford and GM with the front-wheel drive transmission is a 9 speed automatic.
Scotty Kilmer do a video of a Toyota Venza I wanna now your opinion 👍👍👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
For semi trucks. Allison transmission standard warranty 750k miles. Most go over 1 million miles with no major problems.
Mnm Mcds they are 750k miles because semi’s travel WAY more miles than a passenger vehicle does.. 750kn sounds like a lot but really, it’s decent not great
that's nothing. if you drove 40 hours a week at highway speeds you'd hit that number in less than two years.
I can’t imagine that being true. Most properly shifted fuller transmissions only make a million or a little more
That's insane
LazyH-Online, nachos can’t do multiplication lol! He is way off
Scotty I worked at aisin for a while as a line inspector, they are an amazing company. I only temped there but they make great transmissions and other products.
What town or city are they out of?
@@klwthe3rd this was AEIL. Aisin Electronics Illinois. They are located in Marion.
I worked for aisin in london, ky for about a month. Worse place i ever worked. Six days a week, 12hr shift, only day off was sunday. And they fired me because i had to leave when my wife totaled her car. I even asked my insert "japanese word for leader" can i leave and she told me its ok and to go. Got a phone call half way to hospital to where my wife was telling me i no longer need to come in the next day, that i was being let go.

You surely dont know your car if your guess is Toyota. Try looking at those motors, you will see so many parts, motors, pumps, made by Aisin, Denso, Bosch. I rate these 3 companies as top 3 suppliers of the parts inside your cars. Even American cars lmao
AISIN!

My '96 Accord still has the original automatic transmission and motor with 378,500+ miles on it. I wish that I could buy another brand new '96/97 Accord!
watchful31 those years transmissions was a differently designed transmission unlike the 98’s-2000s
Those are the good years of Accord.. Try a Acura RL... things get really interesting
Did you win an award?
my 1997 acura cl transmission, KO at around 80k miles :( , bought a brand new odyssey 2004 similar issue. with the honda brand i had to replace starter and alternators before 100k miles, then after left the honda brand and went toyota never looked back, ...
My 1998 Infiniti I30t has the original transmission. Never any trouble whatsoever. Change the transmission fluid every 3 years.

Thanks Scotty. Another Very Good Video. I'm a ASE Certified Master Tech. I've Been working on cars 45 yrs ,(Since I was 11 yrs but getting paid for it by 14 yrs)
I'm kinda Surprised you let your Automatics go to 40,000 miles between Fluid,/Filter Servicing. We were told in Tech School (Automatic Trans Class) AAI that 22,000 was about the Ceiling due to fluid breakdown, contaminsnts, and hot/Cold Variations that happen within Such mileage use..
They said key factor to long Automatics life is keeping heat down ... Ie if you over heat enhine the trans gets overheated too. Due to lines of tranny going to and from Radiator. So bypassing to a aftermarket cooler for air cooling fluid was recommended
I Always Change my Fluid in my Automatics at 18-22,000. I've never lost a Automatic that was sound internally before I got it ... So I haven't lost one... Most of mine Have been 3 speed Torque flites as well. Which are good reliables too.
@@10juanh Toyota made Heafty and Great Lesps in Advancements in Automatic Transmissions from 1984 forwards. I worked For Larry Miller Toyota in Phoenix for 18-months 85-86.

One customer Trade in was 84 Celics Supra 6 fuel injected with Aftermarket Turbo added BY demand of this very customer in late 83. After they blew up 2 turbos from improper maintaince the traded it in because it needed new one again... Our mechanic replaced turbo before it came on used lot side. I took it out n Decided to Shock the Torwue Convertor and See how low I could get the turbo to kick in !! Blipped Throttle 4-5 X while Power braking it n Then suddenly Released Brake Simultaneously flooring Throttle. The Supra Was dpinning not Reats as Car went dideways from 35-55 MPH without letting out of Throttle a gentle Steering adjustment brought car to Straight line.. by then it was time to get off throttle for upcoming left curve on road. Yep pretty awesome. I'm not a Turbo fan but that car was hot! That was 96 n the new Celicae and 2 we SR5 pu had turbos factory while MR2 now had factory optional Superchargers for the most part Toyota held the Quality until about 2001 then Ran into a few mistakes. They're still in Top 5 of affordable non Rich people imports
My 96 Volvo 850 uses a Aisin Trans. No problems at all in 23 years. My daughter drives a 87 volvo 240Dl which uses Aisin-Warner trans. Just change fluid and these Trans seem to run forever. Scotty is right on. They are the best built trans.
Why has Scotty’s celica been stuck at 240,000 miles for so many years 😛
He stopped using it so he can keep saying its still going strong after 240k miles lol
He drives once around the block every 8 days
When the state had him committed lol
He only drives it to porn movie auditions.
The odometer probably quit working
Question: What is the most unreliable car ever made?
I would say old Lada, they are always broken. BUT they never brake down.
The original VW Beetle has to be in the top 3 of that list I reckon
1970's Ford Pinto. They had the engine in the rear and tended on rear end collisions to well..explode.
The engine was in the front, and only the "runabout" (hatchback) model had the exploding gas tank problem.
Dodge Neon?
This mechanic seems legit, I have actually met some honest to God mechanics and I gotta feeling Scotty is another. And no, I'm not being paid by Toyota
Rev up your toyota with automatic transmission!
Rev up your semiautomatic transmissions. Full auto transmission is now illegal. Skot told me all about it he is a mechanic.
Not funny

260,000km, never had the fluid changed, works like a dream

Question: What are the intervals for changing the fluids in your car? i.e. Oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc.
Yeah I'd like to hear from Scotty on that too...good question
Me three.Go on Scotty do a video please.
RTFM - the maintenance schedule tells you everything you need to know.
read the owner’s manual?
It differs for every vehicle. Just check your owners manual and you should be good.
Do your arms get tired?
Don't worry bro...He had auto transmission on his hands.
He is a mechanic..
He keeps em greased and changes fluid/oil regularly
That's his upper body workout!

My wives 2009 Toyota Corolla has never gone under the knife. A really solid car plus the interior looks like new. Toyota gets my vote for a very reliable car.
scotty I have a 2001 Honda Accord 4 Cyl with 366,850 miles on it, it feels like a dream
I’d agree I’d include ZF transmissions too! They’re amazing and go from a 300 hp V6 application to 840 hp demon application! They shift better than the Ford or GM product up and down! I honestly think the auto trans is the weakest point in non FCA domestic vehicles.
Also DCT transmissions are amazing to drive. They’re a lot more responsive than even some of the best torque converter based automatics because they don’t need line pressure to make a quick, snappy shift. Complex and expensive but very efficient (based more on a manual trans design) and very quick!
I agree with you, I have a 2016 bmw 328i, which has 8-speed ZF trans. And I have 2016 Acura ILX with 8-speed Dual clutch auto. but does a torque converter. The ZF has little delays between gears, but very smooth, but DCT shifts very fast, the only problem with that particular trans is jerky shifts in the lower gear.
The Chrysler 300 uses a ZF 8 speed used in BMW's etc...
ZF is good too...
Yeah but its a Chrysler!

You're the greatest mechanic in the world,by giving out info and helping .The county should give you the Nobel prize winner award.Thank you and God bless.😀✌
For sure some are better than others, but I think a lot of it is because of a lack of maintenance. If someone told me that 90% of owners NEVER changed the fluid in their transmissions I would tend to believe it. All stop and go city driving in hot weather, carrying too much weight, jackrabbit starts, low fluid levels etc. all take a toll on automatic transmissions. Ask a transmission rebuilder how often he changes the fluid in his own vehicles, he will give you an ear full. TheReaper!
Not all transmission need oil change
bought a Honda with horrible speed change, 5th wasnt even an option, changed the transmission oil and it was like another car! still miss that smooth transmission
ZF make good transmission
Yes of course
Sure, if not the best
They've had some problems with their 9HP transmission. From jerky/sluggish gearshifts to glitches in selecting Park and the possibility for the car to roll away.
Yeah. Manuals.
Lol I have a Peugeot 406 coupe with the ZF 4HP20 transmission and it’s the worst. Sealed for life, basically everything was broken after 90k miles and needed a $4000 rebuild. Same at 150k miles. Glad it’s not my daily
Hey brother Scottie I love your work around to getting to the point so manufacturers won't blackball you or try to sue you laugh out loud. Another great video you are appreciated thank you brother.
My Volvo has an Aisin 5 speed automatic transmission. Aisin is part of the Toyota Keiretsu along with Nippon Denso and several other subcontractors. Just change the fluid regularly and don't drive like a maniac and these transmissions just keep going.
John Ferguson don't drive like John Ferguson.
Heat from sporty driving is an automatic transmission killer indeed.
My 07 Tacoma does not recomend changing the auto trans fluid unless it tows heavy weights in hot climates.
had one in my ford fusion I believe great trans
Who do you believe currently makes the best 6 cylinder engine? (straight, V, boxer, etc)
Probably the Camry v6
Best V6: Toyota
Best straight-6: BMW, though Mercedes Benz will launch theirs again
Best flat-6: Subaru
Honda's j series v6 are pretty tough
Nissan VQ. Born in 1995 and still used today you can't kill em.
The 3400 (I think?) By gm is pretty good. Believe it or not the old Chrysler inline 6 are pretty good too

You got lucky
You are mistaken--that is a 1994 Toyota Celica you are driving.
Proper maintenance is the key to all Honda transmissions.
Bullshit
Dave D Scotty has said in a previous video that Honda's automatics are on the weak side, but still generally last a long time as long as they are maintained properly and you're not doing burnouts in them.
The ZF transmissions are also very good from a company that solely makes them
Yh it’s literally the best engineered automatic! Smoooth and fast
That's what my Charger has and I absolutely love it!
Scotty would never give credit to anything from a chrysler product. I love this channel but he’s extremely biased towards Chrysler.
I agree... they drive very well when working properly. but they do have major engineering faults to.
Good video Scotty yes I know Chrysler has bad Transmissions but I have a brother-in-law that has a 2003 Ram 1500 with 350,000 miles on it and the transmission fluid and filter has never been changed unbelievable

Edit: maybe like Scotty's Tech Institute? STI
Just buy a semi-running car for $2k, that will have mostly missed scheduled maintenance. It will lead to you having to change other components, depending on it's history, but shouldn't be too bad if you buy an easy-to-work-on vehicle, like a 90s s10. Just make sure you bring somebody with experience so you dont buy a vehicle that has a blown head gasket or something a little much for your experience. I dont own a vehicle newer than 94, right now because this method is how I find cheap daily drivers.
I live in Italy and in 2004 I purchased a Toyota Avensis (basically an elongated Toyota Corolla made for Europe) 1.8 VVT-i (1ZZ-FE) equipped with a 4 speed U341E automatic transmission made by Aisin in Japan. Despite full service history, performed exclusively by the local Toyota dealer, I never asked to the dealer to change the ATF and the ATF filter, also because Toyota explicitly wrote in the user manual that it is not necessary under nornal driving conditions. I live in a montainous region and, despite driving almost always very calmly, after 12.5 years and about 72,000 miles, the torque converter seal started to leak ATF on the floor. The dealer replaced the torque converter and its seal. Afterward, the automatic transmission of my car performed perfectly, as always, but with one defect: the torque converter lock-up clutch didn't engage anymore, and the error code P0741 appeared on the scanner display. Check engine light on, VDC off, TCS off. Long story short: I ended up with a new automatic transmission, remanufactured by Toyota, installed by the local Toyota dealer. My question is: what could have been the root cause of the torque converter seal starting to leak ATF on the floor? Total lack of maintenance? Age? Mountaineous roads that keep the ATF hotter than usual? Clogged ATF filter due to the torque converter clutch lining being reduced to dust due to engaging/disengaging cycles driving up the mountains? My best answer is the latest I wrote, also because the torque converter lock-up clutch is not a multi-plate clutch; instead, it is a single layer ring-shaped clutch, not the strongest type, I guess.
Honestly ZF probably makes the best automatic transmissions never heard many issues from their autos 👍 didn't hear you mention them.
YUP! That's what Chrysler uses in their Trucks and Chargers/Challengers. They're great transmissions and are used in tons of luxury brands.

Coz you didn't celebrate Thanksgiving?
Aisin made the 6-speed manual transmissions for the Honda S2000, Miata and Mini Cooper. They weren't limited to just automatic transmissions. From what I've heard, they were all great transmissions.
most transmissions will work fine, problem is that americans think cars are magic go-go machines and not incredibly complex machines so noone changes oil or rotates their tires, and people drive them like a-holes, that's why "cars today don't last"!
I have to agree and Americans do tha to their Japanese cars too. "So reliable ia don't have to do nothin'." They they wonder why they borke down on the highway (just saw a 2 year old Honda Accord on the side of a highway. I will say since the driver was not around I do not know why. When the Taurus first came out I saw one like this too, then I saw the driver walking away with a gas can in his hands. :)
Sadly...no. When you add complexity and reduce weight/cost, stuff doesn't last so long. If you just expect a car to last through a lease period or want to sell more cars or want to eliminate fleet mpg fines that's a win. If you wanted a new car that lasts like an old one I honestly have no advice. AFAIK they do not exist. Ones that aren't money pits straight after the warranty period *cough* BMW exist but absolutely nothing is going to hit the 40 year mark.
@@drakeilt5776 I change my blinker fluid but that's about it - leave the rest to fate..
Evidently you are unaware that buyers of cars determine the price and features of a car, not the manufacturers. The proof is that lots of people are willing to pay more for the cars and pickups that Toyota manufactures. Toyota cars cost more but they last longer. Planned obsolescence is a myth. Lots of people are unwilling to pay for quality, it's their choice.
I agree. Americans drives like a crazy, they see a green light and they think they are rockets. If the stop signal is at 50-100 ft, It doesn't matter, they accelerate to the bottom.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm just taking a wild guess. Toyota or honda
LOL *definitely* not Honda with their interesting history with 4-speed automatics.
Scotty. I wouldn't have done the research before buying a new car before I saw this video but I will now. Thank you. Can't promise when that's going to be, though, my 2002 car is still running like a champion and if it ain't broken.....
So Scotty, no ZF 8-speed Transmissions? 🤔
Bmw transmisions are good and smooth
yeah they're good but BMW and Mercedes doesn't give you a service interval for them so people don't change the pan and the fluid they end up braking down
also on German brands ZF is good but stay away from Getrag i personally had issues with it
@@sjoerdmeijer1 There not BMW transmissions, they ZF Fredricksen
Go on Zf's website they will tell you how often to change it and what kits you need. When you buy the kits they also come with a guide on how to do the oil change
Zf make both the best (ZF 8speed) and also the worst(ZF 9speed) transmissions in the world at the same time lol
The 2011 and 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD has the six-speed Aisin automatic transmission with sport or manual-shift mode. These 2011 and 2012 Fusion Sport's do last long, because the transmission is made in Japan and it is more reliable than other Fusion models. You are better off getting a Fusion Sport AWD for a first car, whether if you are a student or a novice driver.
Asinin makes transmissions for General Motors, Ford, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Saab, VW, Volvo, Hyundai, MINI, etc.
My 1999 Jeep Cherokee Xj has almost 400,000 miles and is just like new...Aisin AW4 best automatic ever....
That's the same tranny used in the Toyota Supras of the same era. Tough transmissions, but the neutral safety switch is a pain.
I've been hearing a lot of new (2016+) Taco owners say that the automatic trans is a nightmare.
They're cvt's now
My 2008 Honda Fit sport has a five speed automatic transmission and it run just as good or better since the day I purchased it. Keeping up on regular basic maintenance is the key to getting good service from your vehicle.
I’m gonna go with GM. I own a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the old 5 speed Allison transmission and it’s just a beast. Also Chevrolet’s old 6L80E 6 speed was best on the market around 2007 to 2010. But yeah, aisin transmissions are alright, my dad has a 2015 ram 1500 with the 8 speed but they never want to shift, idk why but great video Scotty! Keep em coming ;)
I also have a 2005 Chevy 8.1 with the Allison. It’s only at 70,000 miles but I love that bast
2015 RAM 1500 is not a aisin it is a ZF MADE IN GERMANY
Lol.. I'm sorry Scotty. I don't see Toyota transmissions in buses and semis and dump trucks.. I'll stick with my Allison transmission behind the Duramax
Not to be a jerk but the 5spd Allison isn’t that great. Apparently you didn’t turn up that dmax
Justin Martin Except that you can put that 5spd Allison through excessive wear and torture and they still function. My buddy has a 2005 2500hd as well and has 547,000 miles on it and has had one thing replaced on his transmission due to how much he tows and uses it. Idc how good you say ram and fords half and one ton transmissions are, nothing is better than an Allison period.
Allison, ZF, aisin, getrag, tremec

I used to work as Aisin in London Kentucky and we made parts for everyone Corvette, Honda, Ford, Cummins, dodge and the list goes on and on.
I would like to see a video about the best manual transmissions. my opinion is that Mazda manual transmissions are the best, but I would like to hear your opinion.
Manual in VW GTI’s is great too.
Toyota makes the best auto transmission (aisin) and Honda makes the best manual transmission like the one in Honda s2000
Dang Mazda? If its the miata 5 speed then yeah thats a decent arguement.
Id still go with honda manual or toyota manual maybe 90s Nissan manual they were really good.
Y'all listen to Mr Duke please 😁
I don’t know I had a Miata 5 speed and it was so jerky and the shifter just shook like mad. It only had 80k miles on it too
I've had 4 Gm car's with automatic transmissions all with over 150,000 to 200,000 miles on them none ever failed,had a Nissan and a Toyota the the automatic trans failed in.the only US made vehicle that had a trans fail that I owned was a1984 Chevy S10. I had a 1989 S10 that i had over 200,000 on it and it never failed.
Same here, a 85 caprice with 195 thou. and a 85 celebrity with over 200 thou miles, great trans. in both cars.
i’ve ran through 3 4L60E’s within a span of 6 months.. no more GM for me

My Chevy Tahoe 05 still running strong
I did as well in my 2000 Monte Carlo SS. Transmission replaced at 80k miles and I Traded it in shortly there after.
I have a 1 ton 4 wheel drive GMC pickup with the 6-speed Allison automatic and I currently have 200 thousand miles on the transmission with no problems and it shifts very smoothly.
ZF has always made the best transmissions, and always will.
It depends on what criteria you define for best transmission. Longevity, performance, value? Their 9HP is known to be glitchy
ZF makes great transmissions, but sometimes Getrag is as good, if not better, especially Getrag manual transmissions.
My daughter has a Mercury Villager minivan, 1995, which now has over 348,000 miles. It has the
original auto transmission in it. I did have to pull the valve body and put in a new solenoid pack,
maybe at about 315,000 miles, don't exactly recall. Don't know who made it, but its pretty good!

If that is true which i highly doubt, that means you must have either gotten a bad 1 that every batch has from any manufacturer, a previously abused used car, or that you didn't maintain everything by the book.

Never in the history of Ram Cummins trucks did they use an Allison.. They always used Chrysler trans and now the Aisin..

Pdk is a manual transmission with a twin clutch that's shifted by a computer.
Isn't the PDK manufactured by ZF?
Scotty, couldn't agree with you more about the quality of AISIN products... because your point probably applies to their MANUAL transmissions too. I'm the original, sole owner of a '99 Jeep Wrangler TJ. And after 19 years and 450,000 miles, the Aisin-built AX15 5- speed manual is still going strong, problem-free (all I have ever done is changing the fluid every couple of years). Love your vids!
My stepdad was a Napa mechanic for many years before going to an ASIN factory that he has worked at for 20yrs. It's funny where we live we say it like Isin (eyesin). He does alot of diecast work. When we buy a vehicle, it's mandatory for him to check it out first and He's still the family mechanic.
BMW does. The ZF 8 speed is the best. It's near perfect. This is obviously my opinion.
Well, BMW buys their transmission from Getrag and ZF, and both companies typically make great automatic and manual transmissions. Rag on German cars all you want, but BMW and Mercedes do have great automatics if driven respectfully and if the fluid is changed at some point. VW used to buy GM transmissions for their cars, so that's why VW gets a bad rap. For BMW you have to worry about the cooling system and suspension more than the engine itself or the transmission. With Mercedes, you have to worry about everything except the transmission. Most VWs, that aren't dual clutch, are manuals, so I think they just bought the cheapest GM made transmissions for those that can't or don't want to drive a manual.
@@arorakevin Please don't. BMWs are money pits even IF I nothing major breaks. Stuff starts breaking at the 5-7 year mark and continues until you immolate it with jellied gasoline. It might even be minor stuff but it all costs bank and while some people consider simplicity golden, none of those people appear to be German automotive engineers from the last 2 decades.
No car manufacturer always makes perfect cars, and certainly not BMW, but the suppliers for their transmissions, both ZF and Getrag are second to none. Isn't this video about the best transmissions? BMW and even Mercedes have used ZF transmissions. Anyway, none of the BMW I've had were money pits. Not all of their aftermarket parts are as expensive as you say they are. Their engines and transmissions, if taken care of, are actually very reliable on the most part. Any car will need new parts if dailyed after 5-7 years. Some of the older BMW engines like the M42 will last as long as the famous Ford straight 6 engine. Don't generalize about BMW because of a few failure they have made. That's like criticisizng GM for making bad transmissions and saying everything is bad about GM, but they do make great engines like the LS engine, which a lot of people apparently swap.
A buddy of mine asked me if he should change the transmission fluid on his 2004 BMX X5 six years ago at 180k miles. He said it had never been changed. He pulls heavy trailers with this from Arizona to Texas monthly. He now has 240k miles on it, never took my advice, and dog gone it.... That thing is still running strong. CRAZY!
He might still want to change the fluid and filter for a piece of mind. Also, long distance drives will do less wear on a transmission, because the car isn't shifting gears that much. It's bumper to bumper traffic that puts stress on transmissions... pulling a trailer or something doesn't really have anything to do with the transmission. Alas, at least the 180k mark shows that ZF did make a good transmission for your friend's SUV.
What about ZF automatics? they seem to be popular too
The 8 speeds seem to be reliable, the 9 speeds are crap
Fruitableee YT the 9 speeds in the acura right i thought they were suppose
to be good
My VW Golf 2013 has a Japanese transmission, and I didn't know why until I saw this video. Nice, and thanks!!!
Please answer me. How much is 2011 new transmission cost???
What a stupid vague question.
@@Epro95 you are very nice
@@Epro95 I know.. What year make and model??
Dodge never used the Alison transmission. Gm has for the past 18 years mated to the duramax
Yes dodge used Cummins and Allison trans in the old 3500
@@giacnguyen4889 nope. Dodge never used allison.
Dodge used aisian and their own 68re. Also the 47 and 48 re in older models
Correct. As a former Chrysler tech, they NEVER used an Allison. 4 speeds were a heavier duty torque flite. 6 speeds are a 68RFE, based on the 45 and 545RFEs and of course the Aisin 68and 69RCs. Sorry Scotty, the Allison is still a tougher tranny than the Aisin. In stock form both are actually great. Turn up the power and the Allison lives longer, the Aisin becomes fragile.
I bought a 2006 CheVrolet Impala at 170,000 miles. At 174,000 the transmission locked up. I took to a transmission mechanic completely rebuilt it. The mechanic asked me how many miles it had and I told him. He said that’s about right. Those GM 4 speed transmissions were junk. He had impala’s in front of me and two behind me. The car now has 212,000 miles and it runs fine.
Hey Scotty, I know you're a Toyota guy. My wife and I recently inherited her grandmother's 2003 Camry and it only has 45,000 miles on it. It's due for a service soon and I was wondering what oil brand or type you would recommend for it. What other things should we keep an eye out for with this model year? We want it to last for as long as possible. Thanks! Love your channel! I've been a subscriber for a long time!
If you have the service records, see what type of oil was used. If it was conventional (not synthetic), consider keeping the car on conventional, though going to synthetic at that mileage should be OK. If it was synthetic, keep it there. Conventional oil prob. recommend Castrol or Valvoline. Most synthetic oil is fine; the best one is probably Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum, depending on what viscosity is recommended by Toyota for your car.
Follow the manual. Change the oil and filter every 5K. Do it YOURSELF. NEVER trust a quick change place or the dealer. If you have a TRUSTED mechanic, he can do the changes. You should buy your own oil and filter. If you don't have a local, trusted mechanic, find one! Tire changes, always hand torque the lug nuts. Use genuine Toyota ATF and the correct Toyota coolant.
@@wholeNwon 100% agree, make sure the trans fluid is WS like Toyotas fluid. Synthetic is the best imo because it clings to the upper engine better than regular oil and flows better in colder temps.
Castrol or valvoline, pennzoil is good too.. whatever is on sale and oem filter.
API service SN/ILSAC GF-5, otherwise makes absolutely no difference which oil you buy.
Answer is "no one". Get a car with a manual transmission, be cool and miss the grief of a 3K repair.
Clutches aren’t cheap my friend
@@user-to2qk9oz6bcheaper than repairing an automatic transmission
@@user-to2qk9oz6b But they are more reliable, especially if you know how to use them and not abuse them.
Charles, Obviously you don't have a long commute to work daily in a major metropolitan area. "Oaring" in slow stop and go traffic is definitely not fun or cool. I will take an automatic any day.
@@wutang9068 You say that because you don't have much experience with a manual. I have been driving a manual for 4 years and changing gears and pressing the clutch has become a second nature. Its not a problem for me. Also i prefer manual because my car is not that powerful and when i want to overtake someone, i slam the 3rd gear and overtake easily
The editing on your videos is the best! So many funny photos and references. I’m the furthest thing from a “car guy” but I’ve watched nearly dozens of your videos for the sake of the entertainment value. 😂
Definitely want to hear your full thought on the CVT engines. I know you've said it in the past that you didn't like em as much but why?
Same here!
Cvt's have been much improved , but I don't like them.....Will take a modern gear auto anytime over a droaning cvt.
Most car companies are using Cvt’s engines
Rev up your Mazda 6 speed Skyactiv-Drive transmission.
Thats right. Mazda is making them themselves. Love their cars too!
Mazda has the best automatic regarding Japanese cars
The original Jaguar V12 saloons used Borg Warner 3 speeds but when they switched from carburettor to fuel injection they put a GM400 3 speed in them. They were bomb proof and silky smooth.
Wasn't the GM400 a four speed?
Between the Aisin 6 speed in my v6 Camry and every other 6-9 speed FWD transmission I've experienced in a bunch of different rental cars there's no comparison. The GM 6 speeds are slow to shift and jerky in the lower gears, the Ford 6 speeds have the ratio spread all wrong and take way too long to downshift for power, the ZF 9 speed is just a total drivability abomination (their RWD 8 speed is jerky too). Unfortunately it seems like Aisin still has a few software issues to work out in their new 8 speed units, but initially the 6 speeds needed some updates as well before they were solid units.
jblyon2 I've had multiple v6 camrys and also es350s and the u660e is a pathetic transmission. Shift great and works great until itdoesn't. Had 3 go out on me.
Guaranteed you had someone check the fluid level when it was at full operating temp. The amount of fluid it loses when checked hot is just enough to cause shifting problems and eventual failure. That's the biggest design blunder they made on the things. From what I understand the ambulance chasers wouldn't let them specify a level check at full operating temp because the fluid could cause burns and then they could get sued, so a lower temp was specified. It's poorly trained service techs that cause most of the failures. Of course a simple dipstick would have made that all moot, but then you're just talking too much sense.
Hold your horses a bit regarding the ZF transmissions. Manufacturers buy them in to fit in their cars and usually program the software themselves. The 8 speed ZF is buttery smooth in BMW's, I have heard a lot of complaints about the same gearbox in other uses and it's because the software hasn't been written that well.
@@ruk2023-- in most cases, it's the communication between the tranny manufacturer's TCU and the engine manufacturer's ECU that needs more testing and fine-tuning. Which they don't do that well these days.
@@theboringchannel1776 do you use your Japanese cars as hot rods?
