Description
The GM 10L80 Transmission is a robust 10-speed automatic transmission designed for longitudinal engine layouts, developed jointly by General Motors and Ford. It features a wide overall gear ratio spread of 7.39:1 with ten forward gears ranging from a low 4.70:1 first gear to a high 0.64:1 tenth gear, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. Capable of handling around 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, it uses ultra-low viscosity DEXRON ULV ATF fluid and includes a 260mm torque converter with an electronic controlled capacity clutch for smooth shifting.
The 10L80 is commonly found in GM’s full-size trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe RST, and Cadillac CT5. Its advanced design improves shifting precision and durability, making it a key upgrade over earlier 6- and 8-speed transmissions in GM’s lineup.
10L80 fitment requires matching your specific vehicle and model year. The Camaro application differs from the Silverado application in oil pan design and shift calibration. The Tahoe/Suburban application has specific AWD output configurations. Our VIN verification confirms the exact 10L80 for your vehicle before it ships.
GM truck, SUV, and performance car owners comparing a used transmission, a remanufactured transmission, and an OEM transmission for the 10L80 will find the used OEM route the most cost-effective path to factory performance restoration. A used GM 10L80 transmission from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory ten-speed as an OEM transmission — the factory shift calibration, the factory tow-haul programming, the factory application-specific oil pan — as an OEM unit. No remanufactured transmission from a rebuilt ten-speed core delivers the factory application calibration that a used OEM 10L80 provides.
Every used GM 10L80 transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine GM OEM units, and we stand behind every one.
