  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I was just reading the TSBs about ATF in the TSB section of this group.
I noticed that the new V6 Genesis Coupe must not be using the same Automatic Transmission that the V6 Sedan uses. We know that the V8 Sedan uses a ZF Transmission and the V6 Sedan uses an Aisin Transmission.

In reading TSB 08-AT-005 which is for the V6 Sedan (Aisin), it uses the NWS 9638 Full Synthetic "T-5" ATF, which can also be purchased at Toyota and Lexus Dealers.

In reading TSB 09-AT-001 which is for the V6 Coupe (unknown Transmission) and V8 Sedan (ZF) Transmission, both transmissions use the "Lifeguardfluid6 ATF Shell M.1375.4" which can also be purchased at BMW Dealers.

I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like the Coupe also uses the ZF. Perhaps the Aisin is not strong enough for the power the Coupe has. Don't know.
 
I did read somewhere that the Coupe uses "a" ZF transmission, like the V8 sedan. Maybe the exact same ZF as the sedan, but don't know for sure. I think it is more than "strength" it also has to do with gear ratio's etc.
