ATRA's Powertrain Expo, so much to do!
San Antonio Convention Center
September 9-12, San Antonio, TX , pg 44,
http://members.atra.com
2 GEARS August 2010
I
ts time once again to make your
arrangements to attend this years
ATRA Powertrain Expo. I really
believe that this will be one of the
best ever! Itll certainly be the biggest,
because everythings bigger in Texas
or so Ive heard.
The host hotel sits right on the
San Antonio Downtown River Walk; a
quiet, shady walk along a scenic water-
way. And theres a lot to do and see
along the River Walk. The Alamo, the
number one tourist attraction in Texas,
is only a block away from the hotel. Its
well worth the visit, if only so youll
have something to remember.
If its nightlife youre interested
in, no other place can match the attrac-
tions found along the River Walk. Night
clubs, restaurants, shops, and more
all line the Walk, with something for
everyone.
If you have a taste for fine din-
ing, Ruth Christ Steak House is just a
couple blocks away; or, for a real thrill,
head over to the steak house at the top
of the Tower of The Americas. This
750-foot-tall tower features a revolving
restaurant and an observation deck at
the top.
Also along the River Walk youll
find a Hooters, a Hard Rock Caf, and
a Tony Romas ribs, seafood and
steaks. And for those of you who just
like to party, theres Coyote Ugly, Joes
Crab Shack, Mad Dogs, and Dicks
Last Resort.
For your stay weve made special
arrangements with the San Antonio
Marriott River Center, an elegant hotel
located right on the River Walk. Weve
negotiated a
special room
rate of just $149 per night
for Expo attendees. Call
1-800-266-9432 to make
reservations and give the
code ATRA.
Like the previ-
ous Expos, well tee
off on Thursday with
the 7
th
Annual Red
Girdey Memorial Golf
Tournament. Friday evening is the ever-
popular Transtar Reception; a treat for
the senses and an opportunity to visit
with friends you havent seen since
last year.
On Saturday evening, plan on
attending the Discover San Antonio
group tour. This will be very much like
the tour we took during the Washington,
DC Expo back in 1997. We took a bus
tour of DC from the host hotel to the
magnificent and historic Union Station,
and then had dinner in a lovely Italian
restaurant right there in the station.
This year were heading out to
the Rio Cibolo Ranch for a Texas-
style BBQ dinner and an evening of
entertainment, including line dancing
and hay rides. Now this is Texas, so
dress accordingly; make sure youre
decked out in your best Western ware:
Wranglers, Tony Lama boots, cowboy
hats, and extra-large belt buckles. If
you have a problem finding a belt
buckle large enough, you can always
strap on a hub cap!
Theres one issue Id like to touch
on: This year, Expo coincides with
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
The Board of Directors wasnt aware
of this conflict when we agreed to book
San Antonio. It was never our inten-
tion to disregard or insult anyone. The
last time we had this conflict was in
the early nineties, so its certainly not
a common occurrence, and its some-
thing well do our best to avoid in the
future. This was the only date avail-
able in San Antonio where we could
have the Marriott and the San Antonio
Convention Center.
In 2008, my high school class had
its reunion in San Antonio at the River
Walk. Everyone had a terrific time and
said theyd look forward to returning in
the future. Its an inexpensive venue,
and truly a wondrous place to visit. I
look forward to seeing you there!

4 GEARS August 2010
A
s a football coach, I often find
myself repeating a familiar
saying: the cream always rises
to the top. In other words, the best
players will always outshine the more
average players. I consider this a valid
commentary when discussing transmis-
sion technicians and the automotive
industry. Transmission techs are the
cream of the crop the best of the
best and thats the way its always
been.
As long as I can remember, trans-
mission repair has been a specialty,
a job that most technicians wouldnt
touch with a ten-foot pole. Not that
they didnt want to; they were just plain
afraid of those magic boxes between
the engine and the differential.
For the rest of the repair industry,
that part of the car was a question mark;
a blank area that just plain worked or it
didnt. They had no idea of why or how.
Yet you made the decision to dive head-
first into transmission repair. Thats
what makes you the cream of the crop.
I realized long ago that I needed
to be in the automotive industry. I was
five years old, beating on a Tonka
Truck, and as I was wielding the ham-
mer, it smacked me on the head. I dont
think it knocked sense into me, but it
did give me a sense of things to come.
At seventeen I graduated high
school and went to work for Ford. I
started working on transmissions at
nineteen and finished every class Ford
had to offer by the time I was twenty
eight.
There was something that struck
me early in my career besides the
hammer: For a person to learn some-
thing, he needs three things:
1. Kinesthetic (touch and feel)
2. Audio (sounds)
3. Visual (sight)
I was good at the kinesthetic parts
of the job. I was good at the audio
parts, too: Tell me what to do and Ill
do it. But visual had me at a loss. I was
never a very good reader; in fact, when
it came to reading, if I didnt have to
do it, I wouldnt. And in most cases, I
could figure out what I needed to know
from the picture, or by touching the part
enough times to understand it.
All of that changed when I turned
nineteen. I received a wake-up call
and a challenge: Thats when Ford
introduced its new warranty policies.
Suddenly there were categories that
you had to be trained for or you dont
get paid! The categories were:
Electrical
Electronics
Driveability
Engine
Transmission
Brakes/Front End
It took me over nine years, and
about 4200 miles of combined travel,
to finish every class. I did it because
I have the same drive that you have:
the drive to be the best of the best, the
cream of the crop.
I dont think Id have done it on
my own. But I was being pushed I
was challenged. And I rose to that chal-
lenge. Now, some twenty two years
later, were being challenged again.
Were all aware of the new tech-
nologies that are out there today. And
there are a lot more coming down the
pike, soon to find their way into your
shop. This is the time to get a leg up and
prepare for those technologies, before
they start coming after you with a big
hammer.
This is your chance to maintain
that advantage over the other shops, by
signing up for training at the only pro-
gram in the world thats tailored exclu-
sively for you: ATRAs Powertrain
Expo.
This year weve signed with some
of the leading industry trainers to bring
you the understanding and know-how
to handle the transmissions that are
already knocking at your door.
Make your plans for San Antonio,
Texas, September 9
th
through 12
th
.
Come and gain that valuable insight
thatll catapult you to the top of our
industry and keep you there. Theres
no doubt in my mind that youre the
best of the best: nows the time for you
to rise to the top!
I look forward to seeing you there,
reconnecting with you, jockeying sto-
ries back and forth, and catching up
with some old friends. And if you cant
make it, I understand, but do me a
favor: Promise yourself to continue to
face the challenge to be the cream of
the crop the best of the best! Its what
were all about.

B
ack in 1969, Borg-Warner
formed a joint venture with
Aisin Seiki to form Aisin
Warner. We first got a taste of these
transmissions when we started working
on the early Toyotas.
Fast forward to today: Were
working on lighter, more efficient
transmissions than ever before. Aisin
Warner (AW) produces a 6-speed, front
wheel drive in two basic versions: the
TF-80SC and the TF-60SN.
Now some may ask why the guy
who always talks about Ford transmis-
sions is bringing this foreign unit to his
seminar.
The answer is simple: The
TF-80SC comes in the 2006-and-up
Ford Fusion, and the Mercury Milan
and Montego. The Fusion was named
Car of the Year for 2010 by Motor

Trend magazine, so we know this is one
popular automobile.
Besides the Ford model, the
TF-80SC is also used in the Volvo
S60R and the 90 series. Another varia-
tion, the TF-60SN, known as the 09G,
is used by Volkswagen and Audi.
As with any new unit, we go
through the experiences of finding out
exactly where the weak points of the
unit are.
In San Antonio, well discuss one
of the major weak points: the valve
body (figures 1A and 1B). Well look at
where the weak points are and what can
be done about them.
Did you know that the early VW
valve body with the pressure switches
will interchange directly with the later
non-pressure switch valve body? This
may come in handy in a pinch.
The hard parts from the AWF-21
and the 09G arent interchangeable,
so well look at some major hard part
differences and their typical failures
(figures 2A and 2B).
Scanning a Ford product is pretty
straightforward. Most of us already
have that capability. But what about
reprogramming? What about the VW
scan tool? Well explore different
options and different scenarios that
involve these scan tools.
Come to San Antonio for a great
learning experience, and take that
knowledge back to your shop, where
you can use it to have more fun with
transmissions!

Keep Those Trannys rolling
Quattro and 4Motion:
Volkswagen Groups Answer
to All-Wheel Drive

The Volkswagen
Group has been
developing
four-wheel drive
vehicles since
before the second
World War, where
they developed
the Kubelwagen,
Schwimmwagen,
Kommandeurwa-
gen (all 4x4 ve-
hicles), and even
a four wheel drive
Volkswagen Beetle.
I
n this issue of Keep Those
Trannys Rolling, were going to
look at the AWD systems offered
by the Volkswagen Group.
One of the most commonly known
AWD systems from Europe is from the
Volkswagen Group, which manufac-
tures Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
The AWD system used by Audi is
known as the Quattro system and the
AWD system used by Volkswagen is
known as the 4motion system.
The Volkswagen Group has been
developing four-wheel drive vehicles
since before the second World War,
where they developed the Kubelwagen,
Schwimmwagen, Kommandeurwagen
(all 4x4 vehicles), and even a four
wheel drive Volkswagen Beetle.
The Volkswagen Iltis, which was
designed in the 1970s for the German
military, used an early form of four
wheel drive that would later become
known as Volkswagens Quattro sys-
tem.
The Volkswagen Group uses two
different types of AWD systems: the
longitudinal system and the transverse
system, depending upon engine and
transmission orientation.
Longitudinal Systems
The early Quattro systems, starting
with the 1978 Audi 80, were permanent,
four wheel drive systems, equipped
with a manually lockable, open center
differential (more commonly known as
a transfer case or power take-off unit),
a manually lockable, open rear differ-
ential, and a non-locking, open front
differential. These were known as first
generation systems.
In late 1987, Audi replaced the
manually-locking, open center differ-
ential with a Torsen Type 2 (short for
torque sensing) center differential (fig-
ure 1). The Torsen carrier assembly
works basically the same as a limited
slip differential: It distributes the torque
difference between the output shaft
with the least amount of traction avail-
able and the output shaft with the most
traction available.
GEARS August 2010 11
Figure 1: Quattros Torsen Centre Differential
What this article needs is backround images added and creative use of space, can you see a way to make it flow
into these 4 pages? Backround images are on the left. Please put in captions and add color. Please see sample
pages at gearsmagazine.com
The Torsen coupler supports a stat-
ic torque ratio split of 50% to the front
axle and 50% to the rear axle, and is
capable of a torque ratio split of 33% to
the front axle and 67% to the rear axle
under aggressive driving conditions.
These were permanent four wheel
drive systems, equipped with a Torsen
center differential, a manually lock-
able, open rear differential, and a non-
locking, open front differential. This all
wheel drive system is controlled by the
ABS and is known as a second genera-
tion Quattro system.
In 1990, Audi replaced the locking
rear differential with a Torsen type rear
differential. A planetary set was added
to the Torsen center differential for all
V8 Audi Quattros with automatic trans-
missions. Audi Quattros with manual
transmissions came equipped with a
Torsen center differential and a Torsen-
type rear differential. Both models con-
tinued to use the open front differential.
This version of the Quattro system was
referred to as third generation.
In 1995, Audi replaced the manu-
ally locking, open differentials with a
newly designed Electronic Differential
Lock (EDL) open differential system.
The EDL system detects wheel slip
by monitoring the ABS wheel speed
sensors, and then gradually applies the
brakes to the slipping wheel, allowing
torque to be transferred to the opposite
wheel.
This forth generation system con-
tinued to use the Torsen T2 center
differential. This system was also intro-
duced on the 1995 Volkswagen Passat,
where it was initially referred to as the
syncro system. It was finally renamed
the 4Motion system. Volkswagen con-
tinues to use the 4Motion name for its
all wheel drive systems. This system is
referred to as the fourth generation of
the Quattro system.
Beginning in 1996, Audi replaced
the Torsen T2 center differential with a
new design Torsen T3 center differen-
tial. The Torsen T3 center differential
combines a planetary set with a Torsen
differential. Unlike the Torsen T2 car-
rier, the Torsen T3 carrier torque split is
closer to 40% to the front axle and 60%
to the rear axle. With 60% of the torque
being sent to the rear axle, the Torsen
T3 system provides a rear wheel drive
type feel.
The Torsen T3 system continues
to use an open rear differential with
Electronic Differential Lock, and an
open front differential also equipped
with the EDL system. The Torsen T3
system is referred to as the fifth genera-
tion of the Quattro system.
Audis sixth generation Quattro
system is known as the Quattro Torque
Vectoring System (figure 2). The torque
vectoring system was built by ZF
Manufacturing under the name Vector
Drive, and is being offered on the Audi
A4, A5, A6, Q7, and Q5.
The Quattro Vectoring System still
uses the Torsen T3 carrier in the center
differential. The open rear differential
with the EDL system has been replaced
with an electronically controlled Active
Sport Differential. This new system
continues to use an open front differ-
ential equipped with the EDL system.
Transverse Systems
The Volkswagen Group considered
adding an all wheel drive system to
their A-platform cars back in 1974. But
Figure 2: Quattros Torque Vectoring System
Quattro and 4Motion Continued
it didnt seem to materialize until the
second generation of A-platform cars in
the mid-1980s.
The A-platform cars had a trans-
versely mounted engine and transmis-
sion with a power take-off unit (PTU)
mounted to the side of the transmission.
The purpose of the PTU was to deliver
driving torque to the front and rear
axles. The rear drive axle was equipped
with a viscous coupler to minimize
driveline windup or binding.
This viscous coupler type all-wheel
drive system was found on the Golf,
Jetta, Vanagon, Passat, and Eurovan.
The viscous coupler system was only
used on Volkswagens; never on any
Audi vehicles. This early system was
known as the syncro system.
The Haldex System
In 1998, Volkswagen replaced the
viscous coupler system with the Haldex
Traction LSC system, which uses an
electronically controlled, hydraulic,
limited-slip coupler in place of the vis-
cous coupler (figure 3).
The Haldex Traction LSC system
was an option on the Audi A3, S3, and
TT models under the Quattro name. It
Haldex AWD
systems are
currently being
used by several
automotive manu-
facturers such as
the Volkswagen
Group, Volvo,
Saab, Land Rover,
Bugatti, General
Motors, and Ford
Motor Co.
was also available in the Volkswagen
Golf, Golf R35, Jetta, Sharon, Passat,
and Transporter T5 models under the
4Motion name.
Haldex AWD systems are current-
ly being used by several automotive
manufacturers such as the Volkswagen
Group, Volvo, Saab, Land Rover,
Bugatti, General Motors, and Ford
Motor Co.
The Haldex Traction LSC sys-
tem is controlled by the Haldex ECU
(figures 4 and 5). The Haldex ECU
uses information from the ABS control
module to control the AWD system.
This system attempts to engage the rear
drive axle when it detects front wheel
slip.
The Haldex ECU engages and dis-
engages the Haldex clutch as needed to
allow the ABS system to operate prop-
erly, and to prevent driveline binding
during tight turns. The mechanical front
and rear open differentials were replaced
with front and rear, electronically con-
trolled, open differentials (EDL).
This system uses the ABS and sta-
bility ride system to control the AWD
system by applying the brakes to slow
the wheel with the least amount of trac-
tion.
Figure 3: Haldex LSC System Components
Figure 4: Haldexs Traction LCS System
Diagnosing the AWD
Systems
Diagnosing the Audi and
Volkswagen AWD system is pretty
straightforward. The AWD systems are
controlled by the ABS control mod-
ule and Haldex ECU (if equipped).
Diagnosing the ABS and Haldex system
will require using a VAG or compatible
scan tool thats capable of accessing the
ABS control module and the Haldex
ECU.
Once you have access to the ABS
control module and the Haldex ECU:
Retrieve and document all
codes stored in the both
modules.
Clear all codes from the ABS
control module and Haldex
ECU, and recheck the AWD
system operation.
IfABSorHaldexsystem
codes return, diagnose and
repair these codes as needed.
Ifnodiagnosticcodesare
present and you continue to
experience AWD system
problems, inspect the AWD
components.
Remember to check the basics:
check and compare tire sizes, circum-
ferences, and tire pressures. If every-
thing looks good, you may have a
mechanical problem with the center,
rear, or front differentials. Inspect and
repair as needed.
Well, there you have it: an inside
look at what makes the Quattro and
4Motion AWD systems operate. With
a better understanding of how these
AWD systems operate, you should have
no problem keeping those trannys and
AWD systems rolling.

The RE5R05A:
A Deeper Look

I
f it werent for a radiator fail-
ure causing antifreeze to enter
the transmission, the RE5R05A
might have made a quieter entry into
the automotive industry. Reminds me of
a problem Nissan was having with radi-
ators a few years ago: at least theyre
consistent.
In this article were going to touch
base on some of the information thatll
be presented at this years Expo in San
Antonio, Texas, on September 9

The RE5R05A, also referred to as
the JR507E, was first introduced in the
US in 2002 in the Infiniti Q45. Since
then, its made its way into the Nissan
line in 2004 and the Kia Sorento in
2005.
In mid-2004, the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) was moved into
the transmission. If you take in a 2004
RE5R05A with antifreeze contamina-
tion and you dont change the TCM
(figure 2), the vehicle may return in a
couple days or weeks with ghost codes
for solenoids that have nothing wrong
with them.
The female terminals on the sole-
noids can lose tension, which can also
set codes, even on new solenoids. So
always check those terminals when
rebuilding or repairing these units.
In addition to TCM contamina-
tion, the pressure switches on the TCM
(figure 3) can also set ghost codes.

There are several pitfalls associated
with this transmission, such as crossing
connectors that may cause blown fuses
and set codes, swapping planets with
the wrong ratio, and differences in input
shafts and converters.

Celebrating 50 years in the

Its Time to Shift Gears;
The Magna Powertrain
Transfer Case
by Steve Garrett
members.atra.com
www.atra.com
W
ell, its that time of year
again; time for your annual
pilgrimage to the ATRA
Powertrain Expo! Whats new for this
year? For one thing, this years Expo is
going to be in San Antonio, Texas.
Ive been to San Antonio many times;
in fact, the last time I was there I took
my wife. You may wonder why Id drag
my wife to central Texas for an ATRA
seminar. The answers simple: San
Antonio and its surrounding area is one
of the neatest places Ive ever been to.
So, if you were wondering whether
you should go or not, I can tell you
that youll regret it if you decide not
to attend this years Expo. And, after
your wife fnds out how terrifc this trip
was from the other wives that attended,
youd better get ready to start sleeping
on that cot in your shop.
So what exciting material will I
be presenting this year? Ill be doing a
presentation on the Magna Powertrain
transfer cases that made their way
into the market starting in 2007. The
MP transfer cases replaced the New
Process/New Venture transfer cases
youve grown so familiar with through
the years.
A number of MP transfer cases
are now on the market, in use by
several manufacturers. The GM family
of transfer cases includes manually
controlled models 1222/1225/1226,
electrically shifted models 1625/1626,
and active transfer case models
3023/3024.

Figure 1
SPEAKER
GEARS May/June 2010 21
As you can see there are seven different
transfer cases just for GM applications.
Whats so different about these
units? In a nutshell, the construction
of the units is very similar to the NV
design transfer cases youve worked on
for years. But the internal operation of
the shift mechanism is quite different
from most pervious designs.
MP units use a completely different
design shift motor (fgure 1). In
addition, this new design shift motor
requires a learn process to adapt to
system condition and wear. Youll have
to initialize a relearn process if you
replace the motor.
What about diagnostics? Theyre
different too, because the electronics on
this unit arent the same as they were
on the NV units. In fact, many of the
components that youve become so
accustomed to over the years, such as
the encoder assembly, arent being used
any more.
Are you curious yet? I hope so:
change is good in our industry, and its
always good to have a bit of curiosity
regarding the products entering the
market. Remember, your competitor
who didnt attend this years Expo
probably wont know this change even
occurred, let alone how the diagnostics
and service procedures have changed.
So, while your spouse is having the time
of her (his?) life in San Antonio, you
can be preparing yourself for the future
when it comes to servicing MP transfer
cases. I hope to see yall there!
O
nce in a while an opportunity
comes along that compels you
to share your experiences with
others dealing with the same issues. In
this case we had a number of issues
with a late Volkswagen Beetle and
the infamous 09G 6-speed automatic
transmission.
Checking TCC Command
To check the TCC command from
the TCM to the N91 solenoid, youll
need to access the wiring near the
TCM. The TCM is mounted under the
passenger side of the dash. To access it,
you have to release the top center panel
of the dash; push it forward and then
pop it up to release it (fgure 1).
To protect the other dash panels, I
removed the right side dash end cap, the
glovebox assembly, and the passenger
hold-on bar and dash panel that covers
the passenger air bag canister. Then
I unsnapped the A-pillar interior trim
panel and popped out the passenger
side top dash panel (fgure 2) There was
another panel under that one, mounted
with a few more screws and held down
with press-in tabs.
Figure 1: Removing the center dash cap
Figure 2: Removing dash panels to access the TCM
Finally I accessed the TCM (fgure 3) and
connected a Vantage graphing meter to the TCC
command wire. It displayed about 5-10 percent with no
TCC apply. After 3rd gear it started to ramp up to 40-
60 percent at about 30-45 MPH, depending on load. At
highway speeds it commanded a duty cycle of around
75-90 percent.

Figure 5: Modus Expert Mode on the engine side
Figure 6: Entering block value code 063 for base setting
Pressure Tap Locations
I also connected gauges to the
various taps. The lube tap had about 2-3
PSI at idle and varied between 6-30 PSI
at 40 MPH, again depending on vehicle
load.
The K1 tap for forward engage-
ment measured between 45-55 PSI,
depending on which valve body we
were testing. Reverse pressure at idle in
the B2 tap was about 75-85 PSI. At stall,
reverse pressure went up to 280 PSI.
There are some tap location errors
out there in articles published on this
unit: The K1 tap is located at the forward
lower left side of the case. The B2 tap is
located on the left side, midway up the
case (fgure 4).
Adaptive Strategies
These vehicles have very sensitive
adaptive shifts; after installing a valve
body, you must perform the base
setting before the transmission will
shift properly. First make sure that all
modules are working and no codes are
present. The vehicle should be at normal
operating temperature, and the battery
and vehicle electrical system must be in
good condition.
There should also be at least 3-4
gallons of fuel in the tank. ATRAs Bill
Brayton explained that adding fuel to a
Beetle solved some harsh engagement
issues that one ATRA Member was
having.
Here are some screen shots from
a Modus scan tool with 2009 software.
We were able to perform the base setting
by accessing EXPERT MODE under
the engine side (fgure 5). The scan
tool pretty much prompts you through,
except for a few areas.
To access the base settings, the
scan tool asked us to enter a block value
code. We used code 063 (fgure 6); when
you get to the screen for base setting,
you have to hold the throttle all the way

Valvebody Test: Harsh
Engagement
One valve body we tested created
very harsh engagements right away.
Except for that, it always drove and
shifted great, cold or warmed up. After
the base settings were completed,
forward engagement smoothed out
but reverse remained harsh. We drove
it again on city streets and at highway
speeds. The only issue remained was
reverse engagement. This was an
interesting problem because I knew the
vehicle and transmission were good. I
remembered a fx for the 5R55N used
in the old Lincoln LS for a delayed
Reverse.
To fx this one, I moved the gear
selector slowly out of reverse. As soon
as I felt the clutch begin to re-lease, I
dropped it right back into reverse. I did
maneuver this about 3 times. After that,
reverse engagement was perfect.
Valvebody Test: Delay in
Reverse and Flare into 3rd
and 5th
This valve body started acting
up right away. It caused a delay and a
bang in reverse, and a fare-bang into
both 3rd and 5th. We knew this could
only be caused by a bad solenoid or
the valve that controlled the K3 clutch.
We removed the N90 solenoid, which
controls the K3 clutch. N90 is the large
solenoid next to the manual valve. Be
careful; some published information
lists the wrong solenoid controlling the

NOTE: You can remove this
solenoid by either removing the whole
valve body, or by removing most of
the bolts and loosening but not
completely removing the valve
body bolts from the opposite side of the
solenoids.
I disassembled the solenoid
down to the coil (fgure 8). Everything
looked good: the armature was free and
the valve wasnt sticky or worn. The
coil resistance was at 5.4 ohms. But
remember, resistance can only verify
whether something is bad. It cant tell
you whether a device or circuit will
work well under live conditions.
I got another solenoid coil and
installed a special alloy bushing to
replace the suspect one. Guess what?
It worked. The delay in reverse and the
fare-bang shifts completely went away.
We were happy to be able to change one
weak solenoid and help a shop out.
Filling the Transaxle
One last tip were glad to pass
along concerns adding fuid. Theres a
small fll tube on the front of the case,
but its hard to get to and requires a very
small funnel to add any fuid to the unit
(fgure 9).
We discovered that, by removing
the wiring harness pass-through
connector on the front corner of the unit,
there was enough slack in the wiring to
insert a tube and pump fuid into the
transmission (fgure 10).
Until next time, keep your mind
open to new ideas and your bays full.
M
ost workplace injuries
involve workers who have
been on the job for the less
than one year, many have been on the
job for less than 30 days. New work-
ers may be experienced in another line
of work or they may just be coming
out of school with very little, or no job
knowledge. They may not be aware of
the hazards they could face in the work-
place or the proper safety procedures to
follow that would help to protect them.
It is the responsibility of the
employer to provide training that will
enable workers to perform their jobs in
a safe, efficient, and productive man-
ner, while also complying with the
regulations and standards that apply to
their industry.
A commonly overlooked part of
safety training is the language bar-
rier. This issue may go unnoticed, as
few workers wont admit they do not
understand job instructions being given
by the employer. However, not being
able to understand safety instructions
can quickly lead to work injuries, incor-
rect machine operation or problems
with production, quality or compliance.
Therefore, the trainer must make sure
every worker understands the training
material; not just that a worker was
present.
It is vital that workers understand
the purpose of the training, why it will
be of use to them, and the consequences
of not following safety rules and pro-
cedures. Training material should be
organized so that the order in which
the material is presented will match
the safety procedures that are to be fol-
lowed on the job.
The most effective safety training
starts from the day the worker is hired.
A good place to start is by explain-
ing the companys Injury and Illness
Prevention Program (IIPP). The IIPP
training umbrella requires workers to
be trained in two major areas:
General safety - areas that
affect all employees such as
fire drills or other emergency
procedures
Specific training - for the
hazards associated with the
employees job assignment
All training, no matter how brief,
should be documented and should be
placed in the employees file or training
log. Training is required:

he 2010 ATRA Expo is right
around the corner. Each year I
look forward to Expo, not only
for the learning experience, but to catch
up with friends and meet new people in
our industry. And this years Expo will
be our first time in San Antonio, Texas.
I cant wait!
Each year I try to focus on the
Chrysler/Dodge line of automatic
transmissions and transaxles. Over the
years weve discussed diagnostic rou-
tines and build information, as well as
updated parts for the RE (42, 44, 46,
47, and 48RE) family of transmissions,
the TE/AE/LE/RLE family of transmis-
sions (40, 41, 42, and 62 series), the full
RFE (45, 5-45, and 68RFE), and the
AS68RC lineup.
This year well continue our
Chrysler/Dodge theme by focusing on
the Continuously Variable Transaxle
(CVT): how it works, as well as diag-
nostic and rebuild procedures when
dealing with this high dollar unit.
The concept of replacing an auto-
matic transmission with a CVT began
near the end of the 20

the demands of everyday driving.
Technology and materials have
changed and the durability problem
has been overcome, even when coupled
with todays high-torque engines. There
are many auto manufacturers starting to
use CVTs, and theyre proving to be
both reliable and durable under normal
driving conditions.
That durability has its limits: tow-
ing creates more failures than nor-
mal, and high horsepower applications
(pushing the driving limits) have a
tendency to burn off the belts.
Chrysler/Dodge introduced their
CVT in the Dodge Caliber, Jeep
Compos, and Jeep Patriot, both FWD
and AWD vehicles, with the 2.0L and
2.4L engines.
The CVT unit selects the best drive
ratio based on torque demand and driv-
ing style. This happens by varying the
size of two pulleys that push a steel belt
to achieve the best overall driving ratio.
This includes an extremely low ratio for
acceleration, and a super high overdrive
ratio for fuel economy. Compared to a
unit with stepped gear ratios, such as a
normal shifting transmission, the CVT
typically gets about a 12% increase in
fuel economy. Consumers have recog-
nized the value of this and are generally
sold on this economy.
There are many vehicles with these
CVTs on the road today, and theyre
already beginning to show up in shops
across the country. So its important to
understand how these units work.
Well be covering how the CVT
systems function, and learning impor-
tant techniques for repairing this unit.
It should prove to be an exciting learn-
ing experience as we go through the
mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic
operating principles that allow these
transmissions to work.
I look forward to seeing all of you
at Expo 2010 this year. Until next time,
keep those transmissions in good shift-
ing health!

hats Working: For the
last four years weve been
studying transmission
shops to see what makes one shop suc-
cessful, while another shop, right down
the road, struggles to make ends meet.
We began by collecting data, to see
what successful shops have in common
that other, less successful shops were
missing. Then we interviewed consum-
ers to discover what they expected from
a repair shop.
The results from these studies were
part of the Whats Working presentation
at ATRAs Powertrain Expo. Each study
provided another piece of the puzzle for
business success; a puzzle that, when
assembled, provided a striking image
of what it takes to be successful in the
transmission repair industry.
So we had an answer. But that
left us with one critical question: Was
it possible for a shop owner to apply
the findings from the Whats Working
study, and actually make a difference in
his business? We didnt know until
now.
Now we have the proof... living,
breathing proof that the information
from What's Working can really make
a difference in today's transmission
repair shops.
People across the country are suc-
cessfully applying the ideas of What's
Working and this year, our panel con-
sists of four past Expo attendees who
took what they learned at Expo and
turned their shops around. Theyll
share their personal experiences for

... this year, our panel consists of four past Expo attendees who
took what they learned at Expo and turned their shops around.
applying the principles of Whats
Working into real world practices
and real world results.
Like Mario Jauregui of Express
Transmissions. Think success is all
about location, location, location?
Marios shop sits right in the heart
of what Forbes branded The Most
Miserable City in the US! Hows that
for location? But hes built a business
any shop owner would be proud of, and
he credits much of his success to what
he learned at Expo.
Or how about Gerald and Gary
Vess, of USA Transmissions in Houston,
Texas? They were recently profiled in
the Strategies section of the Houston
Business Journal (page 34). In it, they
cite Whats Working as the inspiration
that turned their business around.
Then theres Zach Evans of Zachs
Transmission and 4X4. Zach started out
at the bench, and he was running his
shop that way until he came to Expo.
There he learned to think like a busi-
ness owner, and it paid off.
This year, Mario, Gerald, Gary,
and Zach will share how they applied
the principles of Whats Working to
make sweeping changes in their busi-
nesses. Like many of you, they were
getting by, but never enjoyed the suc-
cess they wanted. Then they discovered
the five recurring traits of successful
shop owners:

They embraced these
traits, and it changed
the way they do busi-
ness. They proved it can
be done. They proved that
acquiring these traits will
have a dramatic impact on
the success of your business.
So if you want to turn
your business around, you
need to make your way to
Expo. Its not about studies
any more: Its about results.
This is where you can see what
weve been saying in action,
and you can discover just how
well it works. We have the
proof!
Now its up to you: Make
your reservations today to come
to San Antonio, Texas, September 9

. These guys are put-
ting their very successful shops on hold
to share how they did it. Theyll answer
your questions, and help you discover
how to make Whats Working work for
you.
And dont just show up: Get
involved! Start thinking about the
questions that have been nagging you
for years. How can I take advantage
of community involvement? Whats
the best way to advertise my shop?
Should I expand my service offerings?
Whatever you want to know, someone
else had the same questions. And were
going to have a lot of great minds at
Expo, to help you find the answers.
This is your big opportunity: You
dont often get to sit and talk, one
on one, with guys who are turning
an industry on its heels. The folks at
Expo are the movers and shakers of
transmission repair. More important-
ly, theyre regular guys who fix cars
for a living, just like you.
This is your chance to rub elbows
with the guys who are making it work.
And theyre living proof that the Whats
Working program really works. You
may never receive an opportunity like
this again: Grab it for all its worth
and well see you at Expo!

he U660E first appeared
in the Lexus ES350 and
the Toyota Camry in 2007.
Then it showed up in the 2008
Avalon, followed by the Venza in
2009.
To diagnose and repair these
transmissions, youll need some
special tools. One tool youll want
to have is the techstream: Toyotas
dedicated scan tool. But you dont
have to buy the actual techstream:
Techstream lite is a PC-based ver-
sion of the scan tool, providing
you with the same access to the
Toyota/Scion/Lexus computer
system for a fraction of the cost.
Toyotas transmission com-
puter has a learning function to
adapt transmission performance
to vehicle operation. So whether
youre just replacing a solenoid or
the entire valve body, part of your
repair procedure should include
initializing the TCM and then road
testing the vehicle to give the
TCM a chance to relearn.

Toyotas
transmission
computer has
a learning
function
to adapt
transmission
performance
to vehicle
operation.
Figure 1
When performing a major repair,
such as replacing the engine or trans-
axle, or even the TCM, youll need to
reset the transaxle compensation code.
This is Toyotas term for reprogram-
ming the TCM. Naturally youll need to
road test the vehicle to allow the TCM
to relearn and adapt after resetting the
compensation code.
To reset the transaxle compensa-
tion code using techstream lite:
1. Move the shift lever to neutral
or park.
2. Key off.
3. Connect your techstream lite
connector to the diagnostic
link connector (DLC3).
4. Key on, engine off.
5. Turn your computer on, and
enter the techstream lite pro-
gram.
6. Enter the menu items in this
order:
Powertrain
ECT
Utility
7. A/T Code Reset.
8. Select Next to proceed.
9. Select Exit.
10. Perform road test to allow the
TCM to adapt to the transaxle
and conditions.
Transaxle Compensation
Code (figure 1).
Transaxle compensation codes are
Figure 2
unique, 60-digit alphanumeric values
printed on the QR label on the trans-
axle. The code provides the computer
system with the initialization informa-
tion for that transaxle configuration.
Entering the wrong transaxle com-
pensation code into the TCM will cause
shift shock.
After youve installed the trans-
axle, the QR code label will be out of
position, where you cant read it. So
always record the transaxle compensa-
tion code before installing the transaxle.
The chart (figure 2) shows you
which procedure will be necessary,
depending on which repairs you per-
formed.
Diagnostic Procedures
Toyota and Lexus use a large num-
ber of ECU-controlled systems. These
systems are often very intricate, requir-
ing a high level of technical knowledge
to troubleshoot.
But most diagnostic procedures
only involve inspecting one circuit at a
time. With a basic understanding of the
system and a firm grasp on the prin-
ciples of electricity, you should have no
trouble performing accurate diagnoses
and repairs.
Shift Solenoid Operation
The TCM commands shifts by
turning the shift solenoids on or off in a
specific sequence.
When theres an open or short
circuit in any shift solenoid circuit, the
TCM detects the problem, lights the
MIL, and stores a code. It also stops
sending current to the faulty circuit.
At the same time, the TCM goes
into failsafe operation, controlling the
remaining shift solenoids to provide
basic transmission operation.
Inspection Procedure
Remove the TCM from the trans-
axle and measure the solenoid resis-
tances. (figure 3)
SLT, SLU, SL1, SL2, SL3, and
SL4 ............................... 5.05.6
SL ................................... 1115
Check the solenoids for a short to
ground; connect your meter between
the each solenoid wire and the chassis
ground. Resistance should be 10k or
higher. Below 10k indicates a short
to ground.
If the solenoid resistance is
okay and theres no indication of a short
to ground, youre probably dealing with
a faulty TCM.
If the solenoid resistance is out
of spec, or the resistance between the
solenoid and ground is below 10k,
youll need to replace the solenoid.
...most diagnostic
procedures only involve
inspecting one circuit
at a time. With a basic
understanding of the
system and a firm
grasp on the principles
of electricity, you
should have no trouble
performing accurate
diagnoses and repairs.
Figure 3
U660E: Diagnosing the Toyota 6-Speed
Replacing the ATF
The U660E has a special ATF fill-
ing procedure to improve the accuracy
of the ATF level after repairs (figures
4&5).
Because of this, the oil filler tube
and oil level gauge used in convention-
al automatic transmissions have been
discontinued, eliminating the need to
inspect the fluid level as part of routine
maintenance.
Thats going to wrap it up for now.
Keep your eyes open for more about
the U660E as we keep these transmis-
sions street smart.

leveland, Ohio Transtar
Industries, Inc., the premier pro-
vider of world-class driveline
solutions, announces the winners of
their Skin Deep promotion. Derived
from Transtars 2010 advertising cam-
paign, Commitment is More than Skin
Deep, this new and unique promotion
gave Transtar the opportunity to see
real commitment from their customers
and employees, and a whole new side
of the industry.
The Commitment is More than
Skin Deep campaign incorporates vari-
ous advertisements featuring people
with a Transtar Seal of Quality tattoo.
We always try to consider our cus-
tomers when we create any advertise-
ment, said Jim Berry, Vice President
of Marketing. This campaign has real-
ly hit the mark and has created quite the
stir within the industry. We intend to
generate even more interest throughout
the year at the ATRA Powertrain Expo
and upcoming seminars.
Transtars Skin Deep promotion
was held in the spring and consisted of
two separate Best Ink contests; one
for customers and one for employees.
The contests challenged both Transtar
customers and employees to be creative
and send in a picture with the tattoo.
The prizes included a $1,000 gift
card to the Harley Davidson Store and
several leather biker jackets with an
embroidered Transtar logo and Seal
of Quality. The grand prize winner
was Jimmy Martin of AAMCO in
North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Martin
received a day off from work to get per-
manent Transtar Seal of Quality tattoos
on the palms of his hands, winning him
the $1,000 gift card and a jacket.
When I received the Best Ink
contest announcement, I knew I didnt
want to just pose in a muscle shirt I
wanted to go beyond the sticker, said
Martin. My shop has a great rapport
with Transtar and I wanted to show my
commitment to the company and to
my sales representative. Many people
thought I was crazy at first, but to have
Ronnies Tattoo Studio literally tattoo
the Seal of Quality and Thank you
Transtar on me was more of an honor.
Runners-up in the Best Ink
contests included: Rickey Fuller of
Brooksville Transmissions Inc., Paul
Ranck of Cottman Transmission,
Danny Burnsed of Dannys One Stop
Transmission Shop, Rebecca Treece of
the Detroit location, Angela Peterson,
branch manager of the Fort Lauderdale
location and Steve Brickel of the Edison
location.
One of the runners-up in the cus-
tomer contest is Marvin and Laura
Wilson of Advanced Transmission Inc.
in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The picture
they sent in of their grandson Owen
posing on a motorcycle, proud to show
off the Transtar Seal of Quality tattoo,
won them a jacket. Marvin Wilson, also
known as Papa Dude, demonstrated
his good sportsmanlike attitude and
said There is no doubt
that Mr. Martin deserves
to be the Transtar grand
prize winner - wow.
The tattoo/motorcy-
cle idea came at a perfect
time for the Wilsons. The
couple recently coordi-
nated a motorcycle poker
run to benefit the Ronald
McDonald House, which
is a place where the
parents of children that
are in a nearby hospital
can stay at night for a
reduced price or dona-
tion. The ATRA-Gulf
States Chapter sponsored
this event.
Owens mother, Amy, stayed at
the Ronald McDonald House while
Owen was in the hospital, said Marvin
Wilson. Owen was born with gastros-
chisis (babies born with their organs
outside of the body). So, we always feel
like winners when it comes to him he
is truly a miracle.
To view the winners of the Skin
Deep promotion, visit Transtars

to receive a temporary Transtar Seal of
Quality tattoo, they should contact their

n the July issue we looked at
the first months performance of
the atra.com website, specifically
designed for reaching consumers. We
used several methods for tracking the
traffic to the site including Google
Analytics, Alexa, and the built-in
reporting feature of the site itself. A lot
of the traffic ATRA receives is a result
of press releases and other publications
directing readers to the site. The cover-
age has been fantastic and the site has
been receiving more traffic than any
other transmission-related organization
or group in the industry.
But it gets better than that. The
new atra.com site has a local search
feature called "ATRA Local Search."
Its similar to the Shop Finder in terms
of locating ATRA member shops
based on search criteria, however, the
ATRA Local Search feature is stand
alone; working directly with the search
engines rather than through the ATRA
site. This feature provides local search
results when a consumer enters a city
as part of their search query; such
as transmission repair Ventura. The
search engines then return the results
based on that search (Figure 1). Or, if
someone types automatic transmission
Flint MI theyll get this result: #1 on
Google right under the sponsored links
(Figure 2). When someone clicks on
that search result it goes directly to the
Shop Finder page that lists ATRA mem-
ber shops in or near that city. There are
over 300 USA and Canadian cities built
into the feature (with more to come)
that trigger these results.
This feature began to get picked up
by the search engines toward the end of
May and the increased exposure caused
an explosion of traffic to ATRA mem-
bers and their web sites for the month
of June. The cities with less popula-
tion are currently ranking higher since
theres less competition and the results
for a given city vary from one search
engine to another.

MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
ATRA's Local Search
Bringing Real Performance
Figure 1
Figure 3
For June, the average viewings of
ATRA members contact information
was 124 per member and the total visits
to ATRA member web sites was over
62,000, compared to just over 9,200 for
May. Figure 3 shows a chart of weekly
clicks to ATRA member websites since
the site launched.
As you can see, the traffic has
really increased as the local search
feature has taken hold. This gives you
enormous exposure as an ATRA mem-
ber. Your Web site has the potential
to be a powerful marketing tool that
drives people to your shop especially
if it is receiving large amounts of traf-
fic from ATRAs site. By linking your
site to ATRAs Shop Finder, you will
get one of the most respected names
in transmission repair behind you for
even more credibility, and your sales
will see an increase directly related to
increased visits to your site. Don't have
a website? ATRA offers websites to it's
Members for only $10 per month (plus
a first-time set up fee).
ATRA has become a valuable
resource for consumers to find informa-
tion about their transmission
problems and to find repu-
table shops. The Shop Finder
and ATRA Local Search fea-
tures are more than a simple
list of transmission shops in
or near a city, theyre tied
into ATRA; a name more and
more consumers see as a sign
of trust.
...the total visits to
ATRA member web
sites was over 62,000,
compared to just
over 9,200 for May.

ATRAs member web site was
implemented to further benefit ATRA
members and create a more user-friend-
ly environment. The latest extension of
that support is our Whats Working
group function a fantastic tool for
many shop owners and managers that
is already regularly viewed by its 350
active members.
The member Web site allows mem-
bers to sign in, manage their account,
renew membership, order warranty sup-
plies and have access to all of ATRAs
group discussions including individu-
al groups based on location, groups for
members with Web sites and the new
Whats Working group.
All active members are automati-
cally a part of the Whats Working
management group there is no need to
join. To join and manage all other indi-
vidual groups, visit the member Web
site. There is no fee associated with
joining the groups its all included
with your ATRA membership.
The Whats Working tool
allows group members to:
Search posts
Edit their posts
Delete their posts
Attach a file or image to
your message or group photo
gallery
Paste an embedded code
from YouTube or other video
sharing service
Allow or disallow comments
on a post
Opt in or out of receiving
various email notifications
Features
The group discussion forum has
received several user-friendly enhance-
ments to further support member needs.
After joining a group discussion, you

will be able to see past posts on a vari-
ety of topics made by other participants.
This allows you to review and comment
Figure 1: Where to Request Access to the Whats Working Group
Figure 2: Whats Working Group Home Page
on any existing threads, even ones that
were posted before you joined that
group.
The group discussions are not only
good for providing and receiving indus-
try insight, but for meeting and learning
more about individual posters. While
reviewing a post in a group, you can
click on the name of the person who
posted the topic and it will take you
to their profile page. For example, if
someone posts how to run a successful
business in a small town, you can visit
their profile to learn more about them,
send them a message or even visit their
Web site. If that member is currently
logged on to the site, as well, you can
start a chat session with the member.
For added convenience, one of
the premier features is the ability to
manage your own email subscriptions.
Members can now decide which email
notifications you want to receive from
the group, such as new posts, the join-
ing of new members, updated profiles,
uploaded photos and event updates.
If you prefer to not receive any email
notifications and just check the site
yourself, you have that option. For
important news, you can send a mes-
sage to all members of your group.
Of course, you can unsubscribe
from any group at any time, with-
out having to contact ATRA to do so.
Should you decide to become a part
of the group discussion again, you can
request to join just as easily.
Better Business
The new Whats Working group
brings all the great benefits of the
previous Management group forum
while adding many of the familiar func-
tions of such social networking sites as
Facebook, increasing connectivity and
convenience.
You now have control over what
information you want to receive and
how you want to receive it. This is
a true enhancement in ATRA mem-
ber communication and better business
practices.
How to Join a Group
Once youve become an ATRA
member, you are automatically given
access to the Whats Working group
forum. To join other groups, you can
make a simple request through the
ATRA member Web site.
Once youre connected to the
group, you may begin to make posts
and share insights on topics relating to
your business with other members that
share the same experiences. This kind
of interaction at whatever level you
choose to participate can only work
to spread valuable industry knowledge
and experience between ATRA mem-
bers.

ment remains standard as are the dura-

J.P. Transmission
Salvage is Now J.P.
Transmission Recycling
J.P. Transmission Salvage Inc. has
changed its name to J.P. Transmission
Recycling, and theyve moved to a new
facility at 1220 Dowdy Ferry Road in
Hutchins, Texas.
The reason? They outgrew their
Wilmer Texas facility, which was about
2.5 acres, including offices, warehouse,
breakdown assembly, and receiving
area. Their new facility sits on 7.26
acres, including 50,000 sq. ft. of office,
warehouse, shop space, and outdoor
storage.
The company will continue to buy
automatic transmission cores, along
with standards, torque converters, cata-
lytic converters, and various recyclable
metals.
They plan to continue to grow in
the sale and distribution of used hard
parts and cores, selling throughout the
United States and Puerto Rico, Mexico,
Central and South America, Canada,
and parts of Europe and the Middle
East.
J.P. Transmission Recycling is very
proud of its history: They started in a
small, 3000 sq. ft. facility in Wilmer
Texas in 1979; a far cry from its present
50,000 sq. ft. plant!
Theyre now in the process of
updating their web site to include the
new facility and its additional capabili-
ties; visit them on line at www.jptrans-
mission.com.

dye to multiple A/C systems. Just turn
the handle to inject the exact amount of
dye into the system. Theres no mess to
clean up!
The kit contains a 0.5 oz. univer-
sal A/C dye cartridge that services up
to 14 vehicles. Also included are a 1
oz bottle of Dye-Lite All-In-One
dye for oil, fuel, ATF, power steering,
and hydraulic systems; a 1 oz bottle of
Dye-Lite coolant dye; an 8 oz
spray bottle of GLO-AWAY
dye cleaner; and fluorescence-
enhancing glasses. All are con-
veniently stored in a sturdy plas-

Zf Services Opens
Distribution Center
Expansion In Vernon
Hills, Ill
Vernon Hills, Ill. ZF Services,
the strategic aftermarket business unit
of ZF Friedrichshafen AG, recently
celebrated the grand opening of its
expanded distribution center. The cen-
ter was enlarged by nearly 81 percent
to improve efficiencies and customer
service.
With our centralized location,
great people, quality products and com-
mitment to excellence, I know we will
exceed our customers expectations,
said Tim Corcoran, President and COO
of ZF Services North America, who
dedicated the expanded facility with
about 300 colleagues. Having all of
our competencies under one roof will
allow our organization to be extreme-
ly flexible in meeting our customers
needs.
ZF Services broke ground on the
expansion in May 2009, about a year
and a half after the merger of ZF Sales
& Service NA, LLC and ZF Trading
NA, LLC was announced.
Construction was completed last
October, followed by two months of
facility preparation and three months of
transferring more than 255 truckloads
of products from an Ohio distribution
facility.
The 129,000-square-foot expan-
sion brings the total size of ZF Services
Vernon Hills, Ill. aftermarket remanu-
facturing, administration and distribu-
tion center to 289,000 square feet. The
facility originally opened in 1993.
