I don’t have a shimmy, so I didn’t dig this topic. I think that if you ride on native wheels (diameter, width, offset), on decent tires, there will be no shimmy effect. why do I think so? Because in our club, 70% of lifted jimniks with big tires have this issue. And I don't know of any gymnivot on stock wheels who has shimmy. For the purchase. Can you wait for a new dzhimnik, with a 1.5 liter engine? :) If you take it now, then of course take a fresher one. Right-handers are better equipped. On the machine, the consumption will be 10-13 liters, on the mechanics 7-8 liters. Automatic in your case will be nicer. I bought myself a car in Japan from a dealer, I was looking for a mechanic for about three months :(. Then I brought two more jimniks to order, I also took one from the dealer (there was an almost new target), the other at an auction (there was a price-quality target), both were automatic, so I found them faster. Good luck to you!
Thanks for the comment, thanks for the wishes. To your questions: 1. If you are going to conquer off-road, heavy off-road, remake a dzhimnik, then a mechanic is better. If light off-road, operation in the city, then the machine is not bad, even sometimes better than mechanics. Automatic at 2200 rpm gives out 80-90 km/h. Mechanics at the same speed - 3000 rpm. In general, IMHO, the machine is rather weak on a dzhimnik. He will cope with off-road, but he will die quickly. The first and main example is that you can’t swing a car on the machine, and this is a very bad minus for off-road. 2. I ride Jimny Velcro all winter. Bridgestone is my favorite tire, Dunlop doesn't hold side skids, Yokohama is also good, Toyo is not liked, but that doesn't mean it's bad. No need to buy Velcro made in China, Russia. I drive all winter (98% on the rear wheel drive, even in a snowstorm), but lately, having traveled by car with spikes, I think about them :). Velcro does not like ice under the snow, this is its minus, and full time 4wd will not cope with this either. We have dzhimnivod drive about 50 to 50, but recently the spikes are starting to outperform. 3. you can, BUT not on asphalt, but on mud, gravel, snow and ice. Gasoline consumption will rise. In addition, maneuverability and agility are reduced. Therefore - overcame a bad section, turn off 4WD. In conclusion: In our region, there are a lot of female gymnivodkas who normally ride Velcro in the winter on a rear wheel drive, just like men. It all depends on experience, correct understanding and feeling of the car (this is not the Subaru Forester, which I drove to Dzhimnik, this is different). But it's cool, Jimnik you feel. He is like alive! An important thing - do not inflate the wheels, as indicated on the nameplate. Make rear 1.6, front 1.5 - this is in the city, off-road by 0.1 less. Always-on four-wheel drive on a dzhimnik is not a buzz! By turning on 4WD, you turn on the interaxle lock, and this is only off-road and preferably in a straight line. Long story short, I'll make a video about it sometime.
5.01. If I'm not mistaken, Jimnik does not have an interaxle lock for the simple reason that there is no interaxle differential. There is nothing to block. Front and rear driveshaft constantly rotate at the same speed. And the front wheels are connected through the couplings already in 4WD mode.
Is the Suzuki Jimny automatic or manual? Which is better? (City, hunting, fishing) I want to buy a new Suzuki Jimny (2019) on the Automatic (Automatic transmission).
oh helpful!! Let me know about the first signs! Thank you)
I have a right hand drive, the dipstick is on the left, on the passenger side. Jimny Sierra 2002
Who knows what is the reason for the transmission freezing from 2 to 1 seconds 4-5 resets, at traffic lights it’s not convenient when you need to slow down, then you have to wait until it resets to the first one, otherwise you will give the gas ahead of time and kick with a slip! I partially changed the oil twice, nothing changed (there is a suspicion that in summer the effect is enhanced, in winter it was better.
Everything to the point and nothing more 👍👍👍
Very good video! It's just unrealistically useful and accessible. Even my wife appreciated it.
Yes, after such an owner, 🚘 I would buy without hesitation Thank you, everything is clear, harmonious, synchronous ..
Very useful video, nice to get detailed information from a competent person. Good luck in the future! I’ll deviate a little from the topic, I became interested in this Suzuka, if it’s not difficult for you, answer a few questions: - is it worth taking a jimny on the machine? (Will the off-road potential remain the same, maybe there are some moments where even with experience, the machine will not take out?); - is it worth putting Velcro tires in winter on jimny, in conditions like yours?; - is it possible to drive a jimny with 4WD on for a long time? More specifically, would it be safe to ride a jimny in winter with Velcro on, rear-wheel drive? And if not, the same question, only on a permanent full and will he be able to do this all winter?
Many modern residents strive to have personal vehicles, since it is the car that provides free movement along the desired route at any time. However, in order for the vehicle to always be trouble-free, it is important to monitor its technical condition and take preventive measures in time. One of these procedures is the replacement of transmission oil in the Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission. Some owners of such a car may argue that a gearbox is not needed. They confirm their words with the recommendations of the automaker. Indeed, the manufacturer fills in oil and orients buyers to the fact that it will last for the entire operational life of the vehicle. However, any rule can be accompanied by important exceptions, which we will talk about today.
Do-it-yourself instructions for changing the oil in an automatic transmission Suzuki Jimny.
Replacement process
You can find in the technical manual information that the transmission oil is changed during repair work, when the gearbox is inoperative. Also, an urgent need for a leak occurs. However, not only these two force majeure circumstances force the owners of the Suzuki Jimny to carry out this important technical event. Experienced specialists recommend such a replacement not only in these two cases, but also with a certain frequency.
Replacement frequency
In the gearbox, the oil still has to be changed due to the fact that Russian motorists operate the Suzuki Jimny far from the conditions in which the vehicle was subjected to technical tests. It is no secret that the quality of the fuel that is poured into the Suzuki Jimny in Russia is significantly inferior to the fuel that is offered to motorists abroad. Also, the quality of the road surface should not be discounted. Some highways really deserve admiration. However, the car has to move not only along the central highways, but also along the roads of the periphery, so potholes, pits and other road “surprises” increase the load on the main units of the vehicle.
It is for this reason that it is recommended to change the gear oil after overcoming 45 thousand kilometers if a manual transmission is installed on the Suzuki Jimny. If you are the owner of a car with an automatic transmission, then the term for changing the TM is slightly increased. Oil changes every 60 thousand kilometers. You also need to change the TM if you find signs of a leak. Reasons for leakage include:
- wear of the main elements of the gearbox (shaft surface, seals, sealing ring);
- shaft play;
- loosening of bolts;
- seal failure.
What kind of oil to fill
- high-quality lubrication of contacting metal elements, reduction of friction force;
- reducing the load on the main components of the unit;
- cleaning by eliminating small metal particles;
- decrease in temperature during operation of the unit.
Before visiting a car dealership, it is useful to arm yourself with information on which specific technical product you need to purchase for Suzuki Jimny.
It is recommended to purchase Dextron-III oil from an auto shop if your car has a manual transmission. If your Suzuki Jimny has an automatic transmission then look for API GL-4 SAE 75W-90 transmission fluid. Never pour oil into this vehicle. Such frivolity will only harm your car, provoke its failure. Unfortunately, this will be followed by an urgent need for repair work, loss of funds.
Sequencing
Transmission fluid replacement is carried out according to the full or partial scheme. If a complete replacement requires certain skills, as well as tools and devices that the car owner simply does not have, then a partial replacement of the TM is easily carried out on its own, even in garage conditions. Initially, you should thoroughly warm up the main units of the vehicle, which include the automatic transmission. To do this, you need to start the engine and drive for at least ten minutes in your car. During this time, the transmission oil will warm up and will flow out much faster.
Now you need to drive the car into the pit, unscrew the drain plug, immediately substitute the container into which mining will begin to drain. This process will take some time, you just need to wait. When the mining stops flowing out, it is necessary to unscrew all the bolts holding the automatic transmission pan. It may be necessary to cut the sealant that also holds the pan.
Now pay attention to the pallet, rinse it thoroughly from dirt. Pay special attention to magnets. Their main purpose is to hold metal particles resulting from friction of automatic transmission elements. This is followed by the installation of a cleaned pallet, tightening the drain hole.
After that, you need to unscrew the filler plug and pour in the necessary. You have to pour different amounts:
- for manual transmission - 1.9 liters;
- for automatic transmission - 3.7 liters.
After filling, it is important to immediately measure the oil level using the dipstick. Even if you are convinced that the TM level is normal, do not relax, get behind the wheel of your car, drive at least ten kilometers, then measure the TM level again. If it does not exceed the maximum and is not below the acceptable minimum, we can confidently assume that you have completed such a responsible technical procedure.
So, the replacement of transmission oil should be carried out for any vehicle after overcoming a certain number of kilometers. It is not difficult to replace a TM in a Suzuki Jimny gearbox. We are sure that now you will carry out such procedures in time, preventing the failure of the gearbox.
On Jimny, I prefer to change the ATF with a partial replacement of "leaked-filled". It changes (usually) no more than 2 liters, but I try to make such replacements more often. But since the run for 100 t.km and the operating conditions cannot be called easy, I decided to remove the pan and change the automatic transmission filter. Moreover, he removed part of the exhaust tract, which simplifies the task.
Remind me that I have Automatic transmission after the so-called. reystaling 2004.
According to the instructions, before unscrewing the pan, you need to unscrew a piece of the exhaust tract (which passes under the automatic transmission) and the upper part of the dipstick tube (it is simply inserted into the lower one and bolted somewhere to the body). I don’t know, maybe someone manages to do without these actions, but the path was already unscrewed, and it’s not so difficult to unscrew one tube fastening bolt if you can crawl by hand.
Even before unscrewing the pan, you need to drain the ATF and be sure to screw the drain plug back on! Quite a lot of ATF remains in the pan; when removed, this liquid will definitely pour through the drain hole.
There is still about 1 liter in the pan, i.e. in total, he drained about 3 liters in this way, which is more than usual, but less when as many as 4 liters have merged.
In the tray (pictured in the left and left upper parts) there are two magnets for collecting metal dust. There was a small deposit on the pallet and magnets, but not to say that much.
This is what the automatic transmission looks like without a pallet:
Be careful, ATF will still drip. Now you can unscrew the filter (three bolts):
To replace the new filter 26570-76J10.
A sealing gum is placed on the filter, it is not included in the kit! You can rearrange from the old filter, but I decided to change it just in case, since there is an opportunity. Part number 26545-54J10.
Also replaced the pan gasket. Part number 24784-66H10
And not in vain. The original gasket did not leak, but after removal it felt like hard plastic.
Collected everything. ATF is different now.
Functions of ATF oil in automatic transmission Suzuki Jimny:
- effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
- reduction of mechanical load on the nodes;
- heat dissipation;
- removal of microparticles resulting from corrosion or wear of parts.
- wear of automatic transmission seals;
- wear of the shaft surfaces, the occurrence of a gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
- wear of the automatic transmission sealing element and the speedometer drive shaft;
- play of the input shaft of the automatic transmission;
- damage to the sealing layer in the joints between parts of the automatic transmission: sump, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
- loosening of the bolts that provide the connection of the above parts of the automatic transmission;
Due to a lack of oil or low-quality oil in the Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission:
- plungers and channels of the valve body are clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a shortage of oil in the packages and provokes wear of the bushing, rubbing parts of the pump, etc.;
- the steel disks of the gearbox overheat and wear out quickly;
- rubber-coated pistons, thrust discs, clutch drum, etc. overheat and burn;
- the valve body wears out and becomes unusable.
You can check the oil level in a Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission using a dipstick. The dipstick has two pairs of marks - the upper pair of Max and Min allows you to determine the level in hot oil, the lower pair - in cold. Using the dipstick, it is easy to check the condition of the oil: you need to drop the oil onto a clean white cloth.
When choosing a Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use oil recommended by Suzuki. At the same time, instead of mineral oil, semi-synthetic or synthetic oil can be poured, but in no case should an oil “class lower” than prescribed be used.
Synthetic oil for automatic transmission Suzuki Jimny is called "non-replaceable", it is poured for the entire life of the car. Such oil does not lose its properties under the influence of high temperature and is designed for a very long period of use of the Suzuki Jimny. But we must not forget about the appearance of a mechanical suspension as a result of friction clutch wear with a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of lack of oil, it is necessary to check the degree of its contamination and, if necessary, replace it.
Ways to change the oil in an automatic transmission Suzuki Jimny:
- Partial oil change in a Suzuki Jimny box;
- Complete oil change in a Suzuki Jimny box;
A complete automatic transmission oil change for Suzuki Jimny is carried out using an automatic transmission oil change unit, auto repair specialists. In this case, more ATF oil will be required than the Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission can accommodate. Flushing takes one and a half or double the volume of fresh ATF. The cost will be more expensive than a partial replacement, and not every car service provides such a service.
Partial ATF oil change in a Suzuki Jimny automatic transmission according to a simplified scheme:
- We unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;
- We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is treated along the contour with a sealant.
- We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is advisable to change it at each oil change, or rinse it.
- At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets that are necessary to collect metal dust and chips.
- We clean the magnets and wash the pallet, wipe it dry.
- Install the automatic transmission filter in place.
- We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the gasket of the automatic transmission pan if necessary.
- We twist the drain plug, replacing the drain plug gasket for the automatic transmission.
If you feel that the box is not behaving as usual, then you should diagnose the Jimny automatic transmission, we list the typical symptoms of a malfunction that signal a possible imminent breakdown:
- slips (slip);
- a signal appeared on the instrument panel - automatic transmission emergency mode;
- constant or intermittent vibration (you also need to check the pillows);
- jerks when shifting down / up to any of the gears, twitches to cold or hot;
- gears do not turn on, transmission is lost;
- punches in the transmission, kicks;
- slows down, slows down, makes noise.
Also, do not forget to do the maintenance of the Jimny automatic transmission in time (at least changing the oil (ATF) and filter, in advanced cases - flushing the valve body), still calling on the bulkhead is a more expensive undertaking. Periodically check the oil level in your gearbox yourself (if you have a dipstick). Be sure to warm up the box in winter, at least when driving at low gas (if you are in a hurry).
Questions and answers
Nikita
The machine has such a feeling that it rides in third gear and clicks from the side of the brain under the bordochka at stops. Before that, he drowned the car in a fresh river. The machine was washed, but the imulsion is slightly visible.
Hello Nikita!
Repair. Open.
Alexei
Good afternoon. I have a Suzuki jimny 2005, ACCC. A month and a half ago, "SNEK" began to burn on the panel. On *****, where it was serviced, they read error P0741, and it was already “in the archive”, although it continued to “burn”. After the actions of the mechanics of this service station and another, the error continued to appear, but this did not affect the behavior of the car. Up to this day. Today, when climbing, the revs began to rise sharply and the speed to fall. Barely got to the garage. The transmission oil and filter were changed a year ago.
Hello Alexey!
What is the error code?
Alexei
P0741 Suzuki - Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Performance Or Stuck Off
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid (Contaminated automatic transmission fluid)
- Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness or connectors
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted
- Transmission internal mechanical problem (Internal mechanical failure in automatic transmission)
Hello Alexey!
It is necessary to deal with the torque converter lock-up system, although it may be a trite problem only with solenoids.
The automatic transmission stopped turning on, after yesterday's ride in deep snow, what could be the reasons ???
Hello Michael!
Overheated the box, open it.
Jimny 2003, 23 body K6a engine, kicks on shifting 1-2 gears, in cold weather at start, after warming up the box - R - 1 min, D - 45-50 sec. acceleration to 50-60 km in 1st gear (about 5000), a complete oil and filter change was made (back in the summer)
Hello Gleb!
It looks like a problem with the valve body, you need to remove the pan first and see what's there.
Sergey
Today, when driving around the city, all transmissions disappeared (as it was cut off). Repairmen put forward a version of a torque converter malfunction. What could be? What to do? 2008 dvig. 1.3.
Hello Sergey!
Quite possible. Take off and open.
Sergey
Thank you! Today I solved my own problem: I drained the oil, removed the automatic transmission pan, removed the filter - it was completely clogged !!! I didn’t even have to change it - it washes easily with acetone. After reinstalling the washed filter and installing the pan, I filled in the oil in portions with replacement. The box started working like new. HOORAY!!!
And what was it filled with?
Sergey
Dark brown, loose substance. It does not dissolve with gasoline and other solvents, with acetone it is easy. Apparently this is a product of the natural wear of the friction clutches. The mileage of my car is 130 t.km, I am the second owner. Surely the first one did not do the MOT of the box.
Yes, frictions. Didn't do it of course.
Sergey
Thank you for participating. Maybe someone will benefit from my experience.
Sergey
Good day. Please tell me. After the swamp, slipping, 3.4 gears stopped working, and gives error 0752 on solenoid A.
disappeared for the first time after removing the crankcase, purging the solenoids, partial oil change. Then again, after the swamp, it appeared, yesterday they revised the wires, connections, lubricated all the terminals and threw off the error, and it worked again. But just in case, the solenoids were swapped in places. Today we tested it in a small muddy area, slipped for about 10 minutes. We drove out onto the asphalt and again the same problem. What can be?? Where to look?? We can not find the exact cause. Help me please.
Hello Sergey!
This is cap. repair - open.
Sergey
I'm sorry. But can you tell me the reason??? Overhaul is a lot that can be done. That's the reason.
What we thought up, it most likely happens from overheating of the Box. And perhaps the way out of this situation is simply to install an additional radiator, for example, 1404 or 1405????
The reason is in the valve body and the mechanical part.
You are trying to fix the effect, not the cause. It will also continue to overheat and burn out in the end, it just happens a little later. On a serviceable box, nothing should overheat. If it's overheating at all.
Sergey
And what can happen when skidding in the mud and swamp besides overheating? There, after all, the principle of 2 blades, and when one is spinning, and the second is not, then overheating occurs. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
Artem
Good afternoon. Error P2770. Consequence of the absence of blocking GT.
According to the manual, I rang the circuit and checked the GT blocking solenoid, everything is OK. Further, the manual sends to the replacement of brains.
Can you suggest any other possible causes of the problem? Where to dig?
Hello Artyom!
Ecu side.
Artem
Thank you, let's dig
Automatic transmission filter
As for the automatic transmission filter, Suzuki Jimny has an OEM number: 2657081A10
Not originals: Cob-web SF509 and JS Asakashi JT514, go for Suzuki Jimny, JB23W, JB33W, JB43W.
