6L80E · 6L90E · GM 6-SPEED RWD

Remanufactured 6L80E/6L90E transmissions, smooth as the day it was built

The 6L80E is GM's electronically controlled 6-speed rear-wheel-drive automatic, used from 2006 on in trucks, SUVs and performance cars. The 6L90E is its heavy-duty sibling for HD trucks and high-torque engines.

Picture it: your Tahoe shudders like it's driving over rumble strips at 45 mph, then slams into gear at a stoplight. Those are two of the 6L80's best-known tells: torque converter shudder and a tired 3-5-R clutch. Every unit below is torn down, rebuilt with new wear parts, corrected for known weak points and dyno-tested before it ships.
