Description
The new small sized automatic transaxle (A4CF2) is for gasoline 2.0&Diesel 1.6 engine.
The transaxle (A4CF2) is improved on the durability, fuel consumption and efficiency by the new main features as
followed.
Functions
Item Contents
The full line pressure variable control operates in the valve body to improve the fuel consumption.
The long travel damper clutch is applied to the torque converter to improve the engine revolution
change reduction capability and the fuel consumption. (17~20°)
The oil pump of the trochocentric type is changed to parachoid type to improve the processing and
the capacity efficiency at the low RPM range.
Components The disc type return spring is applied to the low&reverse brake to improve the durability and reduce
the length.
The hydraulic centrifugal oil pressure balance piston is applied to the inside of clutch to improve the
durability and the shift control capability.
The low noise gear and the gear teeth face grinding are applied to the transfer driven gear to improve
the noise and the durability.
The oil pressure value set by TCM is coupled with the engine torque so that the stable shift feeling
can be improved.
The engine torque reduction control operates effectively to improve the shift feeling and the durability.
It can be the skip shift of 13 and 24 when shifting.
The reverse clutch, not L/R brake is controlled when controlling the NR shift so that the NR shift
feeling can be improved.
Electronic
control system The range of the damper clutch direct control expands to improve the fuel consumption.
The current control chip is installed into the TCM to regulate the solenoid control current and control
the oil pressure securely according to the change of the temperature and voltage.
The FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit) harness is composed of the thin and flat copper in the insulating film
like electric wire.
The tachometer is operated by the change of the frequency forwarded from the TCM to the
instrument cluster, not vehicle speed sensor.
Transaxle structure
Mechanical system
Function
Torque Converter
The torque converter, as the power plant which delivers the power of engine to the automatic transaxle, consists of 3
elements, 2 phases and 1 stage type.
- The flowing section form of the torque converter changes the round type to the flat type to reduce the length of the
torque converter.
- The maximum operating degree of the damper clutch installed inside the transaxle increases from 11° to 18.5° to
improve the engine revolution change reduction capability and the fuel consumption
Oil pump
The oil pump is made of the aluminum (the reaction shaft support) to loose the weight and selects the parachoid type to
improve the processing and the capacity efficiency at the low RPM range.
Brakes
The automatic transaxle (A4CF2) uses the low and reverse brake and the second brake. The low and reverse brake is
fixed by the low and reverse annulus gear and overdrive planetary carrier at the 1st speed.
- The disc type return spring is applied to the low and reverse brake and it minimizes the slip of the friction material
from the uniform spring operation power to improve the durability and reduce the length.
The overdrive sun gear is held on the transaxle case by the second brake at the 2nd speed.
Clutch
The multiple clutches and the one way clutch are used as the transaxle device.
The retainer of each clutch is composed of the precision sheet metal parts to realize the productivity and the light
weight.
The hydraulic centrifugal oil pressure balance device places inside the clutch assembly.
Generally the oil remained in the piston oil pressure chamber pushes the piston by the centrifugal force. But to prevent
the piston from being pushed, the oil filled in between the piston and the return spring retainer occurs the centrifugal
force and both of the power is offset so that the piston don't move. In result, it improves the durability and the shift
control ability.
1. Underdrive Clutch
The underdrive clutch is engaged at 1st, 2nd and 3rd speed.
The driving force of input shaft is delivered to the underdrive sun gear.
The operating oil pressure in the underdrive clutch components operates between the piston and the retainer and
pushes the piston to the clutch discs to deliver the driving force from the retainer to the hub.
2. Reverse clutch and overdrive clutch
The reverse clutch is engaged at the reverse and delivers the driving force of input shaft to the reverse sun gear.
The overdrive clutch is engaged at the 3rd and 4th speed and delivers the driving force of input shaft to the overdrive
planetary carrier and the low and reverse annulus gear.
The operating oil pressure of the reverse clutch operates between the reverse clutch retainer and overdrive clutch
retainer and it has the whole overdrive clutch moved to deliver into the hub via retainer.

If the fluid smells as if it is burning, it means that the fluid has been contaminated by fine particles from the
bushes and friction materials, a transmission overhaul may be necessary.
5. Check that the fluid level is in the "HOT" mark on the oil level gauge. If fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid
until the level reaches the "HOT" mark.
Low fluid level can cause a variety of abnormal conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system forms bubbles, which are compressible. Therefore, pressures will be
erratic, causing delayed shifting, slipping clutches and brakes, etc. Improper filling can also raise fluid level too
high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and cause the same conditions which occur
with low fluid level, resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle fluid. In either case, air bubbles
can cause overheating, and fluid oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and brake operation.
Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
When new, automatic transmission fluid should be red, The red dve is added so the assembly plant can identify it
as transmission fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dve, which is not an indicator of fluid
quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will begin to look darker. The color may
eventually appear light brown.
REPLACEMENT
If you have a fluid changer, use this changer to replace the fluid. If you do not have a fluid changer the fluid by the
following procedure.
1. Disconnect the hose, which connects the transmission and the oil cooler (inside the radiator).
2. Start the engine and let the fluid drain out.
The engine should be stopped within one minute after it is started. If the fluid has all drained out before then, the
engine should be stopped at that point.
3. Remove the drain plug(A) from the bottom of the transmission case to drain the fluid.
4. Install the drain plug via the gasket, and tighten it the specified torque.
TORQUE:
35~45 Nm (3.5~4.5kgf.m, 25~32lb-ft)
Check the old fluid for contamination. If it has been contaminated, repeat the steps (5) and (6).
Do not let anybody stand in front of or behind the vehicle while this test is being carried out.
1. Check the automatic transmission fluid level and temperature and the engine coolant temperature.
A. Fluid level : At the HOT mark on the oil level gauge
B. Fluid temperature : 80~100°C (176~212°F)
C. Engine coolant temperature : 80~100°C (176~212°F)
2. Check both rear wheels (left and right).
3. Pull the parking brake lever on, with the brake pedal fully depressed.
4. Start the engine.
5. Move the select lever to the "D" position, fully depress the accelerator pedal and take a reading of the maximum
engine speed at this time.
• The throttle should not be left fully open for any more than eight seconds.
• If carrying out the stall test two or more times, move the select lever to the "N" position and run the engine at
1,000 r/min to let the automatic transaxle fluid cool down before carrying out subsequent tests.
• Move the select lever to the "R" position and carry out the same test again.
