Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of automatic transmission 42LE
Until 1999, the block of solenoids served little in the automatic transmission, but then it was modernized
In an updated transmission, solenoids usually take care of 150 - 200 thousand km
Every 150 km you need to change the GTF clutch or it will break the oil pump bushing
According to the electrics of the machine, the selector position and speed sensor often fails
The box does not tolerate long slippage, this quickly falls apart planetarka
