Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of automatic transmission 5HP30
This is a very reliable box and problems only happen on runs over 200 km.
The most troublesome thing is the wear of the torque converter lock-up clutch
Then, from vibrations, it breaks the rear bearing of the hub, and then the hub itself
Also, the aluminum teeth on the Forward/Reverse clutch drum are often sheared.
In automatic transmissions with high mileage, plastic balls in the valve body sometimes wear out
