TOYOTA LEXUS U140E U140F U240E – ATSG (Automatic Transmission Service Group)

Starting at the beginning of production for the 1998 model year for Lexus and 2000 for Toyota, a new transaxle, designated as the, U140/U240 series was introduced into service. This Transaxle’s shift points, and shift feel are electronically controlled by a Powertrain Control Module. This is accomplished by the PCM monitoring engine load and adjusting solenoid duty cycle to match pressure rise and shift feel. The PCM also monitors the turbine and output speed sensors to calculate gear ratio and the Transmission Range Sensor for gear selection. This front wheel drive transaxle has four forward gears, and one reverse gear. The unit is comprised of three connecting clutches, three holding brakes, three planetary gear sets, and two one-way clutches. In addition, there is a clutch located in the torque converter which is applied via the ECM for increased fuel economy. The primary difference between the U140E/F and the U240E is clutch capacity. The U140 series being used primarily in the V6 applications, thus, containing a greater number of friction elements in the individual clutch packs, while the U240 series is utilized primarily in the smaller 4 cylinder engines.
