Features
•
The new FS5A-EL five-speed automatic transaxle is available as an option for Mazda6
Facelift fitted with LF or with L3 engine.

The FS5A-EL uses one double planetary gear set and one single reduction planetary

The solenoid valves are electronically controlled by a separate T ransaxle C ontrol M odule

following components have been added:
–
reduction planetary gear set
–
one-way clutch No. 2
–
reduction brake
–
direct clutch
–
secondary control valve body
–
intermediate shaft speed sensor
•
To facilitate the fifth gear, the secondary gear drives the output gear through the
reduction planetary gear set.
•
The selector lever has a separate position (M-range) for manual up- and down-shifts.
•
The instrument cluster displays the selector lever position (P-R-N-D-M), the actual gear
which is engaged and in case of a malfunction the ATX MIL ("AT").
