2 Answers
Aisin 6AT transmission models are AQ160 and AQ250. The following is an introduction to the related content of AT transmissions: Transmission classification: AT transmissions are automatic transmissions, some of which have manual modes while others do not. Tiptronic refers to a certain type of automatic transmission with manual shifting capability, which describes a structural form of the transmission. Transmission prevalence: AT transmissions are a relatively common type of automatic transmission, containing multiple planetary gears inside that rely on planetary gear sets for speed and torque conversion. AT transmissions connect to the engine via a torque converter. This type of transmission offers good shift smoothness and high reliability and durability.
I remember that the Aisin 6AT transmission has several models, specifically including common series such as AWF6F25, AWF6F31, AWF6F42, AWF6F45, and AWF6F60. Each model corresponds to a different torque capacity. For example, the AWF6F25 is typically used in economy sedans with a torque of around 250 Nm, while the AWF6F60 can handle over 600 Nm, making it more suitable for SUVs or performance cars. These differences ensure that the transmission can match various engine outputs, preventing premature wear or failure. The overall reliability of the Aisin 6AT is quite high, with smooth shifting and good fuel consumption control, often lasting ten years without major issues. However, regular maintenance like timely oil changes is still necessary. If you're an owner, you can find your specific model through the VIN or repair manual for more accurate servicing.
