Chronology
Predecessor	AWTF-80 SC transmission

The Aisin AW F8FXX series is the world's first^[1] 8-speed automatic transmission designed for use in transverse engine applications. Aisin designed the transmission to package in the same space as preceding 6-speed designs, while increasing the total gear spread and reducing gear spacing.^[2] It is also called the EAT8 (PSA), GA8F22AW (BMW & Mini), TG-81SC (Volvo), ^[3] AF50-8 (Opel/Vauxhall), ^[4] AWF8F45^[5] (Cadillac), and AQ450 (Volkswagen Group).^[6] First usage was in the 2013 model year Lexus RX350 F Sport.

Specifications[edit]

Gearset 1 is not an ordinary gearset but a reverse one. It employs two planetary gears which mesh with each other. One of these planets meshes with the sun gear, the other planet meshes with the ring gear. This results in different ratios being generated by the planetary and also causes the sun gear to rotate in the same direction as the ring gear when the planet carrier is the stationary.

This made it possible to manage with three wheel sets. As a result, the transmission is more compact than eight-speed transmissions for conventional drives. This meant that an eight-speed automatic transmission was also possible for transverse engines. The same gearset concept was first used by Lexus in 2007 and was the very first eight-speed automatic transmission for passenger cars on the world market.
