The Aisin TL-80SN (Toyota AA 80E/AA 80F/AA 81E) series is the world's first 8-speed automatic transmission for passenger cars.^[3] It is designed for longitudinal engines^[a][1] and was first used in the 2007 model year Lexus LS 460.^[4]

Beginning with the AW F8 transmission Aisin and Toyota derived a transverse engine variant^[b][2] by adapting this globally patented gearset concept to fit into the same space as the previous generation U6xx Lepelletier gear mechanism-based 6-speed transmissions to increase the overall ratio spread, reduce gear steps, and increase the torque capacity for transverse engine vehicles as well.^[5]

The Aisin AW F8 F45 (Toyota UA 80E/UA 80F) series is the world's first 8-speed automatic transmission designed for use in transverse engine^[b][2] applications.^[6] It is also called EAT8 (PSA), GA 8F 22AW (BMW/Mini), TG-81SC (Volvo),^[7] AF50-8 (Opel/Vauxhall),^[8] AW F8 F45 (Cadillac),^[9] and AQ 450 (Volkswagen Group).^[10] First usage was in the 2013 model year Lexus RX 350 F Sport.

Toyota’s marketing name for the transmission is "Direct Shift – 8AT 8-speed automatic transmission".^[11][12] In contrast to the UB 80E/F transmission, which was developed by Aisin AW for Toyota, the UA 80E/F was developed in a joint venture between Toyota and Aisin AW. Due to its worldwide application, development was carried out in a global manner involving R&D resources in Japan and the US. The Aisin AW F8 F35 (Toyota UB 80E/F) transmissions are used for lower torque applications, such as 4-cylinder engines, and rated for 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft).^[13]

In some data sheets, the gear ratio of R2 is given, presumably a careless error[1][14][15]

(Economic) Progress Gearset Concept

The main objective in replacing the predecessor model was to improve vehicle fuel economy with extra speeds and a wider gear span to allow the engine speed level to be lowered (downspeeding).

Smaller parts and a hydraulic circuit with fewer components allow the transmission to maintain the same size as the previous LS 430's 6-speed transmission. The aluminum die-cast case is 10 % lighter, yet 30 % more rigid, even with two additional gears and a 22 % greater torque capacity the new transmission weighs 95 kg (209 lb) or 10 % more than the previous unit. With new micro-laser technology gear tooth production tolerances have been reduced 50 %. Aluminum has also replaced steel on gear tooth surfaces. Shift times are as low as 350 milliseconds or 41 % faster than the previous LS 430's unit.

The Lexus IS F and LS 460 (with sport package) use Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) which allows for faster shift times. The torque converter can lockup from 2nd to 8th gears.

Innovation Elasticity Classifies Progress And Market Position Automobile manufacturers drive forward technical developments primarily in order to remain competitive or to achieve or defend technological leadership. This technical progress has therefore always been subject to economic constraints Only innovations whose relative additional benefit is greater than the relative additional resource input, i.e. whose economic elasticity is greater than 1, are considered for realization The required innovation elasticity of an automobile manufacturer depends on its expected return on investment. The basic assumption that the relative additional benefit must be at least twice as high as the relative additional resource input helps with orientation negative, if the output increases and the input decreases, is perfect 2 or above is good 1 or above is acceptable (red) below this is unsatisfactory (bold) Direct Predecessor To reflect the progress of the specific model change plus 1 reverse gear 1 reversed of which 2 gearsets are combined as a compound Ravigneaux gearset Reference Standard (Benchmark) 3-speed transmissions with torque converters have established the modern market for automatic transmissions and thus made it possible in the first place, as this design proved to be a particularly successful compromise between cost and performance It became the archetype and dominated the world market for around 3 decades, setting the standard for automatic transmissions. It was only when fuel consumption became the focus of interest that this design reached its limits, which is why it has now completely disappeared from the market What has remained is the orientation that it offers as a reference standard (point of reference, benchmark) for this market for determining progressiveness and thus the market position of all other, later designs All transmission variants consist of 7 main components Typical examples are Turbo-Hydramatic from GM Cruise-O-Matic from Ford TorqueFlite from Chrysler Detroit Gear from BorgWarner for Studebaker BW-35 from BorgWarner and as T35 from Aisin 3N 71 from Nissan/Jatco 3 HP from ZF Friedrichshafen W3A 040 and W3B 050 from Mercedes-Benz

Two Reverse Gears R1 and R2 Available

The gearset concept offers 2 reverse gears. Due to the increasing electronic control of automatic transmissions and engines, a fast reverse gear (i.e. designed to reduce wheel spin) is no longer necessary for problem-free starting in icy conditions (winter mode). It is therefore unlikely that car manufacturers will make use of this special option of a dedicated winter mode with an additional reverse gear R2. For this reason, the representation of R2 in the tables is shaded gray throughout. In some data sheets, the gear ratio of R2 is given, presumably a careless error.^[1][14][15]

The direction is reversed in gearset 3, the outer one of the Ravigneaux gearset. In the fast reverse gear R2, this part of the Ravigneaux gearset is directly connected to the input (turbine) side. To reduce the shaft speed for an appropriate reverse gear R1, the input (turbine) is put through gearset 1 first. This reduction corresponds to the ratio of the 3rd gear. Therefore, the gear step between the two reverse gears reflects the ratio of the 3rd gear.

Quality Gearset Concept

All 8-speed automatic transmissions from Aisin and Toyota for passenger cars are based on the same layout^[a][1][b][2] in both engines orientations.^[a][1][b][2] For transverse installation,^[b][2] the layout of the longitudinal installation^[a][1] was merely mirrored.^[a][1][b][2] Gearset 1 is not an ordinary one, but a reversed one. It consists of 2 pinions that mesh with each other. One of these pinions meshes with the sun gear, the other with the ring gear. As a results, the gearset generates different ratios and the sun gear rotates in the same direction as the ring gear when the planetary gear carrier is stationary. This made it possible to manage 8 speeds with 3 gearsets. As a result, the transmission is more compact than 8-speed transmissions from competitors. This means that an 8-speed automatic transmission was also possible for transverse engines.

In some data sheets, the gear ratio of R2 is given, presumably a careless error[1][14][15] Standard R:1 — Reverse And 1st Gear Have The Same Ratio — The ideal reverse gear has the same transmission ratio as 1st gear no impairment when maneuvering especially when towing a trailer a torque converter can only partially compensate for this deficiency Plus 11.11 % minus 10 % compared to 1st gear is good Plus 25 % minus 20 % is acceptable (red) Above this is unsatisfactory (bold) Standard 1:2 — Gear Step 1st To 2nd Gear As Small As Possible — With continuously decreasing gear steps (yellow marked line Step) the largest gear step is the one from 1st to 2nd gear, which for a good speed connection and a smooth gear shift must be as small as possible A gear ratio of up to 1.6667 : 1 (5 : 3) is good Up to 1.7500 : 1 (7 : 4) is acceptable (red) Above is unsatisfactory (bold) From large to small gears (from right to left) Standard STEP — From Large To Small Gears: Steady And Progressive Increase In Gear Steps — Gear steps should increase: Δ Step (first green highlighted line Δ Step) is always greater than 1 As progressive as possible: Δ Step is always greater than the previous step Not progressively increasing is acceptable (red) Not increasing is unsatisfactory (bold) Standard SPEED — From Small To Large Gears: Steady Increase In Shaft Speed Difference — Shaft speed differences should increase: Δ Shaft Speed (second line marked in green Δ (Shaft) Speed) is always greater than the previous one 1 difference smaller than the previous one is acceptable (red) 2 consecutive ones are a waste of possible ratios (bold) Specific Torque Ratio And Efficiency The specific torque is the Ratio of output torque ${\displaystyle T_{2;n}}$ to input torque ${\displaystyle T_{1;n}}$ with ${\displaystyle n=gear}$ The efficiency is calculated from the specific torque in relation to the transmission ratio Power loss for single meshing gears is in the range of 1 % to 1.5 % helical gear pairs, which are used to reduce noise in passenger cars, are in the upper part of the loss range spur gear pairs, which are limited to commercial vehicles due to their poorer noise comfort, are in the lower part of the loss range Corridor for specific torque and efficiency in planetary gearsets, the stationary gear ratio ${\displaystyle i_{0}}$ is formed via the planetary gears and thus by two meshes for reasons of simplification, the efficiency for both meshes together is commonly specified there the efficiencies ${\displaystyle \eta _{0}}$ specified here are based on assumed efficiencies for the stationary ratio ${\displaystyle i_{0}}$ of ${\displaystyle \eta _{0}=0.9800}$ (upper value) and ${\displaystyle \eta _{0}=0.9700}$ (lower value) for both interventions together The corresponding efficiency for single-meshing gear pairs is ${\displaystyle {\eta _{0}}^{\tfrac {1}{2}}}$ at ${\displaystyle 0.9800^{\tfrac {1}{2}}=0.98995}$ (upper value) and ${\displaystyle 0.9700^{\tfrac {1}{2}}=0.98489}$ (lower value) See also Toyota A transmission 36/44 and 44/96 or 27/33 and 33/72 See also Toyota U transmission Ordinary Noted For direct determination of the ratio Elementary Noted Alternative representation for determining the transmission ratio Contains only operands With simple fractions of both central gears of a planetary gearset Or with the value 1 As a basis For reliable And traceable Determination of specific torque and efficiency

UA 80E/F Failures And Problems

The UA 80E/F family of 8-speed transmissions has had some issues which led to class action lawsuits, a Customer Support Program and numerous technical service bulletins. Starting in 2017, some Highlander and Sienna customers starting complaining of harsh or delayed shifting, delayed acceleration, hesitation, jerking, unintended acceleration, lurching and excessive revving before upshifting.^[20][21]

Additional issues arose when 2017 and 2018 Highlander and Sienna customers experienced whining, master warning lights/check engine lights and transmission failures. This prompted Toyota to initiate a Customer Support Program (ZJC). This program covered certain 2017 and early 2018 built Highlanders and Sienna under specific VIN parameters and transmission build dates.^[22] However, this issue has been problematic beyond the scope of the ZJC program. This is causing out of pocket costs for customers outside of the standard 6 yrs./60K mls. powertrain warranty.^[23]

More whine or grind issues have been documented in 2021 Avalon, Camry and Highlanders equipped with the UA 80E/F transmission prompting T-SB-0008-21.^[24]

In December 2024, Gears Magazine published an article which has a more in depth look at some of the UA80's shortcomings. This includes a nut which retains the races that comes loose and allows the transfer gear to move. Another common issue is fluid contamination due to clutch debris from the torque converter.^[25]
