The 6L80 was a much different transmission than its predecessor and was intended to be replaced in 2006 when it was initially released. This new unit came with a new 32-bit controller integrated into the valve body that stayed in constant communication with the ECM via GM's new high-speed can bus network.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis new design approach in the 6L80 utilizes three-way, variable-bleed solenoids to improve shift quality and consistency which are constantly monitored and corrected by utilizing GM's new adaptive shift strategies. The deep first and second gear ratios of 4.02 and 2.36 offer ample torque multiplication with a nice, tight shift recovery. The 6L80 transmission comes with a factory rating of 440 ft. lbs of torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cat 1 6L80 Transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Category 1 Suncoast 6L80 Transmission has everything that our Category 0 Transmission has with the addition of the Sonnax Zip Kit and the upgraded 4-5-6 piston and backing plate assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Frictions Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRaybestos® Powertrain GM 6L80 GPZ Clutch Pack® contains upgraded friction components manufactured with the unique blend of GPZ high energy fibers for ultimate stress and high-temperature durability.
