high mileage cars - what's the clock of ur odometer?

[GTcervan]

It's a car forum... It is what we do.

There have been issues attributed to the AC60 transmission. Specifically, the forward clutch drum C1. It seems that the ridge at edge of the drum where the retaining ring is attached, holding back the clutch packs, is a little weak and can break off.

It appears to be enough of a problem that there are aftermarket/modded C1 clutch drums available with reinforced ridges.

From what I'm reading, this is more prevalent on commercial and heavy duty use cases. Couple that with non-optimized PCM/TCM programming, too-high a pressure hydraulics compressing the clutch packs (that jerk users say they feel when shifting to D) may also contribute to this type of failure mode.

Could it be na mas common eto sa mga higher mileage units? Or same lang para sa lahat regardless.

Tho yung shift shock/jerking meron na daw nung bagong labas pa lang ang model bt.

That would be a factor. Heavy use, high mileage, and aggressive driving all contribute to accelerated wear and tear. So kung may weakest link sa system, like the aforementioned C1 drum, it will pop up.

Interesting. Looks like possible design flaw in the AC60 transmission used in Forts and Prados? The first link mentioned that the forward clutch package might be subject to too high pressures, which is likely why it's grinding the clutches/friction material when left in neutral.

LC200 uses a completely different tranny - AB60F.

Those are two different failure modes I think. While the C1 clutch drum problem seems to be present in all AC60 A/Ts, it seems though that only the Fortuners are affected. The C1 drum failure is likely caused by the Fortuner's TCM programming. Maybe it's commanding too much pressure to be applied on the forward clutch packs, which in turn leads to early failure of the drum ridge where the retaining ring is held. It's ironic because a high ATF pressure means that the clutches have little chance to slip and should, in theory, last longer. But it does mean that the shift-shock will be more prominent.

When clutch packs wear out excessively or becomes burnt however, it simply means it is slipping and consequently overheating. If any, a low ATF pressure can cause that, not high pressure.

The TCM is typically programmed to modulate the solenoid valves to provide a balance between having a smooth shift and maintaining clutch pack life.

high mileage cars - what's the clock of ur odometer?

my car 97 mitsu galant matic has 151,550 kms in the clock

a friend of mine's lancer itlog has 225,000 kms in its odometer

my officemate's hyundai grace diesel - early 90's model has 250,000-251,000 kms - whooaah!

i will keep my car running!!!!

how about you guys?

Nice! My old ‘03 Corolla just passed 280,000 km and still going strong. Regular maintenance really keeps them alive. Cool to see how long these cars last!

[Thomasgriffin]

Still going strong-my 2006 Civic just crossed 289,000 km last month. Regular maintenance really does go a long way. Curious to see who’s cracked 300k+!

Mine is a Ford Everest 2009 Model. Already 16 years young, has 178,784 on the clock and still going strong but not as strong as before. Not bad. BTW, just reactivate my account from a very long lay off.

last time I checked, our 2008 Honda Civic A/T is already at 283k kms I think. 300k kms+ is nothing on these R18s. Many Hondas in the states have 200k ++ miles on em'.

My 2018 Isuzu Dmax A/T is already at 112k kms, been my daily driver since Q4 2017

Hi everyone,

I currently have a car with around 220,000 km (about 137,000 miles) on the odometer, and it’s still running pretty well with regular maintenance. High mileage doesn’t always mean trouble if the car has been properly cared for!

I’m curious — what’s the highest mileage any of you have reached with your car, and how did you keep it running smoothly?
