Technical issues and repair guidelines

As it has been mentioned above the automatic transmission M4TA is notable for its enhanced reliability. The car owner only needs to regularly change the oil with filter elements. It is required to use high-quality transmission oil, that preserves bushings and friction clutches from wear-out.


In most cases it is required to perform the overhaul after travelling 300.000 kilometers or more. At the same time it should be noted, that improper operation of the transmission and aggressive driving behavior may lead to frequent malfunctions resulting in the overhaul after running 100.000 kilometers and even earlier. Therefore it is necessary to point out, that this transmission is mainly intended for operation in urban environment.


In the list the most frequent malfunctions we should point out problems with seals and rubber-covered gaskets. Rubber covered linings may get out of order rapidly leading to oil leakages. In this case it is required to replace rubber covered gaskets and seals. Implementation of these repair procedures may be troublesome because of the transmission dimensions. The pan disassembly is a complicated procedure and should be performed in the service facility. In the process of overhaul specialists perform the valve body state check, replacement of friction clutches and drums. In some specific cases it is required to replace burnt clutch. Generally this transmission makes a good impression, distinguished by reliability and repairability.
