General Information

Transmission
The “automatic transmission 09G” has 6 hydraulically control for‐

ward gears. By passing the torque converter slip, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,

5th and 6th gears become mechanically driven gears if lock-up

clutch is closed.
Torque Converter
The torque converter is equipped with a slip controlled torque

converter lockup clutch. The lock-up clutch closes depending on

load and speed. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears can be me‐

chanically driven (without slip).
Automatic Transmission Fluid
(Automatic Transmission Fluid)
ATF is a permanent fill. As far as Maintenance is concerned, the

ATF does not need to be replaced.
The ATF levels inside the planetary gear and inside the final drive

are checked and filled at the same time.
Drained ATF must not be used to fill again.

Caution

Be very careful when working with transmission fluid. Dispose

of drained transmission fluid correctly.

To drain, rising tube is removed.
The height of this rising tube corresponds to the height of the ATF

level.
Use only ATF available as a replacement part in the automatic

transmission 09G. Using other oils can lead to function problems

or can even cause the transmission to fail, ATF part number. Re‐

fer to the Parts Catalog.
