Characteristics of the JR913E
- Pendulum damper
- Expanded lock-up range. Contributes to improved feeling of acceleration and fuel economy.
- Composite oil pan
- Integrated strainer. Contributes to reduced weight.
- Magnesium case
- 30% lighter than conventional materials (i.e. aluminum). Contributes to improved fuel economy.
- World-class ratio coverage
- 40% greater ratio coverage (9.1) than previous units. Contributes to improved feeling of acceleration and fuel economy.
- Shift-by-wire & park-by-wire
- Improved shift lever operation force. Contributes to enhanced flexibility in internal vehicle layout.
Smaller and lighter
By thoroughly re-examing the transmission’s construction and using magnesium for the transmission case and aluminum for the bolts around the transmission, we were able to make it easy to equip, with a length shorter than and a weight lighter than our older 7-speed RWD AT, regardless of the fact that this transmission has more speeds.
Reduced friction and fuel consumption
By minimizing the mechanical losses in the oil pump, gears, and clutch, JATCO has created a transmission with high efficiency. In addition, by adjusting the internal lubricant flow rate in response to driving conditions to ensure each component is always provided with the optimal flow, both high efficiency and high durability are achieved.
Improved drivability and noise, vibration, and harshness performance
By activating the electric oil pump when shifting, using a design that makes oil pressure response quick and very stable, and improving the electric control of the solenoids in the control valve, the vehicle response delay following the operation of the accelerator pedal by the driver has been lowered to the absolute minimum.
In addition, we have achieved a high-level of performance for noise, vibration, and harshness by making use of a pendulum damper in the torque converter.
