Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of automatic transmission SJ6AEL
This is a strong machine, designed for much more torque than in Mazda engines.
However, owners of sports models are often prone to overly aggressive driving.
Therefore, the oil in the box is quickly contaminated with products from the wear of the GTF clutches.
And dirty grease will shorten the life of the solenoids by several times, so renew it more often.
If you drive with a heavily worn GTF clutch, it will break the oil pump bushing
