THE WORLD'S FIRST FWD 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION

AWF8F35-GA8F22AW-8F45-U880F-TG-81SC

The Aisin Group developed the world's first front wheel drive 8-speed transverse mounted automatic
transmission called the AWF8F35. This transmission is currently being used in BMW, GM, Toyota/Lexus
and Volvo applications. Each manufacturer using this transmission will assign its own designation. BMW
calls it the GA8F22AW transmission. GM refers to it as their 8F45. Toyota/Lexus calls it their U880F
transmission, while Volvo refers to this transmission as their TG-81SC replacing the TF-80SC.

We thank ALTO for the use of this valve

body and pictures of this transmission.

Solenoid and TFT Specifications:

The S1 and S2 Solenoids are normally closed solenoids blocking pressure to their respective circuits. These
two solenoids measure 11 to 15 ohms at 68° F.

The SL1, SL2, SL3 SL4, Sl5 and the SLU solenoids are normally vented solenoids venting pressure in their
respective circuits. These solenoids measure 5.0 to 5.6 ohms at 68° F.

The SLT solenoid is a normally applied solenoid supplying pressure to its respective circuit. This solenoid
measure 5.0 to 5.6 ohms at 68° F.

Basic TFT resistance range will be 5 to 8K at 50°F and 0.22 to 0.28K at 230°F. Copyright © 2017 ATSG
