General Motors is an innovator of automatic transmissions, introducing the Hydra-Matic in 1940.^[1] This list includes some GM transmissions.

Automatic transmissions[edit]

Early models[edit]

The GM Hydra-Matic was a success and installed in the majority of GM models by 1950. Through the 1950s, all makers were working on their own automatic transmission, with four more developed inside GM alone. All of GM's early automatic transmissions were replaced by variants of the Turbo-Hydramatic by the 1970s.

1940–1967 Hydra-Matic — Oldsmobile (now the trade name for all GM automatic transmissions)
1948–1963 Dynaflow — Buick
1950–1973 Powerglide — Chevrolet (also used by Pontiac, Holden, Vauxhall and Opel)
1968-1971 Torquedrive- Chevrolet ( Camaro and Chevy II, Nova. Manually shifted on Column. )
1957–1961 Turboglide — Chevrolet (V8 models only, except Corvette)
1958–1959 Flightpitch — Buick
1961–1963 Dual Path Turbine Drive — Buick
1961–1964 Roto Hydramatic — Oldsmobile/Pontiac (also used by Holden)
1964–1969 Super Turbine 300 — Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac (Oldsmobile Jetaway)
1968–1969 Torquedrive — Chevrolet (manually column shifted 2 speed automatic, 6 cyl only)
1956-1964 4 speed Controlled coupling HydraMatic, also known as Cadillac 315 or P 315 HydraMatic, Oldsmobile Jetaway, Pontiac Super HydraMatic.
TempestTorque, ( Pontiac) a two speed based on Powerglide, but having the added feature of ' Split Torque ' dividing the engine power between mechanical connection and the torque converter in high gear.

Turbo-Hydramatic[edit]

The Turbo-Hydramatic was used by all GM divisions, and formed the basis for the company's modern Hydramatic line. The basic rear-wheel drive Turbo-Hydramatic spawned two front-wheel drive variants, the transverseTurbo-Hydramatic 125, and the longitudinalTurbo-Hydramatic 425. A third variant was the light-duty rear wheel drive Turbo-Hydramatic 180 used in many European models.

Heavy-duty rear wheel drive

1971–1994 3L80HD (heavy duty version of TH400)

Medium-duty rear wheel drive

1964–1992 Super Turbine 400/TH400/3L80
1969–1986 TH350/TH350C/TH375B/TH250/TH250C
1972–1976 TH375 — Light duty version of TH400
1976–1987 TH200/TH200C
1981–1990 TH200-4R
1982–1993 TH700R4/4L60

Light-duty rear wheel drive

1969–1998 TH180/TH180C/3L30 — 3-speed European/Asian model. Also manufactured and used by Holden as the Trimatic transmission.

Transverse front wheel drive

1980–1999 TH125/TH125C/3T40 — 3-speed light-duty
1984–1994 TH440-T4/4T60 — 4-speed medium-duty

Longitudinal front wheel drive

1966–1978 TH425 — 3-speed
1979–1981 TH325 — 3-speed
1982–1985 TH325-4L — 4-speed

Electronic Hydra-Matics[edit]

The next-generation transmissions, introduced in the early 1990s, were the electronic Hydra-Matics based on the Turbo-Hydramatic design. Most early electronic transmissions use the '-E' designator to differentiate them from their non-electronic cousins, but this has been dropped on transmissions with no mechanical version like the new GM 6L80 transmission.

Today, GM uses a simple naming scheme for their transmissions, with the 'Hydra-Matic' name used on most automatics across all divisions.

3/4/5/6	L/T	##	-Elll
Number of forward gears	L=Longitudinal T=Transverse	GVWR rating	'E' for Electronic 'HD' for Heavy Duty

First-generation longitudinal (Rear Wheel drive)

1991–2001 4L30-E — 4-speed light-duty (used in BMW, Cadillac, Isuzu, and Opel cars)
1992– 4L60-E/4L65-E — 4-speed medium-duty (used in GM trucks and rear-wheel-drive cars)
1991– 4L80-E/4L85-E — 4-speed heavy-duty (used in GM trucks)

First-generation transverse (Front Wheel drive)

1995–2010 4T40-E/4T45-E — 4-speed light-duty (used in smaller front wheel drive GM vehicles)
1991–2010 4T60-E/4T65-E/4T65E-HD — 4-speed medium-duty (used in larger front wheel drive GM vehicles)
1993–2010 4T80-E — 4-speed heavy-duty (used in large front wheel drive GM vehicles, only with Cadillac NorthStar V8.

Second-generation longitudinal (Rear Wheel drive)

2017–present: 10L90 - Ford-GM 10-speed automatic transmission (used in GM performance cars)

*This transmission is part of a joint-venture between General Motors and Ford Motor Company to split development of two transmissions, a longitudinal 10-speed and transverse 9-speed. Ford led the design of the 10-speed transmission, as well as filing the design patents for said transmission. According to an official report by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) the design of the 10-speed gearbox is essentially all Ford, while GM was responsible for designing the 9-speed 9T transverse automatic gearbox. As part of their joint-venture, Ford will let GM use the 10-speed transmission with rights to modify and manufacture it for their own applications. In-exchange for Ford's 10-speed transmission, General Motors will let Ford use its 9-speed transmission for front-wheel drive applications; Ford ultimately declined use of the 9T.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Second-generation transverse (Front Wheel drive)

2008–present: 6T30/6T40/6T45 — 6-speed light-duty
2006–present: 6T70/6T75 — 6-speed medium-duty
2016–present: 9T50/9T65 Hydra-Matic – 9-speed^[5]

*PLEASE NOTE: When sending a converter to us for a cut & clean, repair, or re-stall PLEASE DRAIN ALL FLUID OUT OF CONVERTER before shipping! Thank you!*

Our converters are built in houese, each converter is custom built to your application, using the same parts used by the big name converter companies from companies such as Sonnax, Transmission Specialties, TCS, Precision, and others. We will offer several types of converters to fill your power and budget.

Contact by phone at 940-268-4885 to talk about your project and we’ll get you a custom quote for your build!

Our “Street” converters are based on a stock diameter converter, with internal improvements to the thrust washers/bearings, lockup clutch materials, and in some cases TIG welded fins. These are very reasonably priced converters for near stock applications with a slight increase in stall speed. Available in stall speeds from 1600-2400 rpm.

Our non-billet Street/Strip Converters are typically based on a 9.5″ (245mm) core. Some will be on a 10 or 11″ core depending on your transmission and combo. These are aimed at the 400-600 HP combo where WOT lockup is not required. $550 for non-lockup GM applications and GM lockup applications (200-4R, 700-R4, 4L60E, 4L80E)

This is our Turbo 350, Turbo 400 & Powerglide series converters. Billet cover, TIG welded fins, and anti ballooning plate. Custom built to your application.

Price	Size/Type	Description
$650	245mm	Good for any application 800hp or under. Upgrades are available please call for pricing.
$750	258mm	Good for any application 800hp-1200hp. Upgrades are available please call for pricing.
$750	265mm	Good for lower stall speeds, or elevated power levels with upgrades. Upgrades are available please call for pricing.
$1000	Super 8' or 9'	These are for all out race applications call for more information.

“4L80”

Now for our Billet Street/Strip converters. These converters offer a billet front cover with larger lockup disc (when applicable), TIG-welded fins, more aggressive lockup materials, and are good for over 1000 HP. You DO get what you pay for when it comes to converters. There is a reason the billet converter costs 3 times as much as our base line of converters. However, you don’t have to pay a premium for a big name to get excellent quality.
