Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of automatic transmission AL1000
This is a very hardy machine and breakdowns occur only with a rare oil change.
With frequent driving in traffic jams, the lubricant in this transmission quickly ages and becomes contaminated.
Then the solenoids in the valve body become clogged and jolts appear when switching
The box also does not like overheating, so keep the cooling system clean
Our version of the automatic transmission is equipped with a heater, which is not the most reliable drive
