Description
The Dodge Challenger transmission represents Chrysler’s commitment to delivering responsive, durable powertrains across multiple generations (LX platform, 2008–present). This transmission is available in 5-speed automatic (A518/A618), 6-speed automatic (68RFE), and 8-speed automatic (8HP70) variants depending on model year and engine pairing. The Challenger transmission integrates seamlessly with legendary Hemi V8 engines, producing optimal torque delivery and acceleration characteristics. Modern variants feature advanced torque converter technology, adaptive shift logic, and precision tuning for both street and performance driving.
The Dodge Challenger transmission’s versatility accommodates everything from stock cruising to modified performance builds. For complementary engine options, explore the Dodge Charger engine for compatible platform architecture. Manual transmission enthusiasts can review TR6060 transmission compatibility for performance swaps. Learn about Chrysler transmission engineering on Wikipedia’s Chrysler A604 transmission. All units tested for reliability with complete warranty protection and ready-to-install condition.
Challenger transmission fitment requires matching your specific engine, trim, and model year. The ZF 8HP has different torque rating variants for V6, HEMI, and SRT applications. The manual options — TREMEC or TR6060 — have application-specific clutch disc and flywheel requirements. Our VIN verification confirms the exact transmission for your Challenger before it ships.
Dodge Challenger owners comparing a used transmission, a remanufactured transmission, and an OEM transmission for their application understand that Challenger drivetrain character is part of the ownership experience. A used Dodge Challenger transmission from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory OEM transmission — the ZF 8HP’s smooth automatic character or the manual’s direct HEMI connection — as an OEM transmission with original Challenger-specific calibration at a price no remanufactured transmission from a non-Challenger core delivers at full Challenger specification. Choosing a used Challenger OEM transmission restores the factory muscle car driving experience.
Every used Dodge Challenger transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine Chrysler OEM units, and we stand behind every one.
