The 6T40 transmission was manufactured by General Motors in 2009. The 6T40 Hydra-Matic transmission was built for midsize and compact cars for Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn.

I got a few requests to do videos on common problem problems. This video can go for a 6T70 as well. As i get the transmissions on the bench and i have the t. The #6T40 Transmission is found on various GM #Chevrolet & Buick vehicles manufactured from 2009 through today. Over time, GM has issued three (3) different. Get all the parts you need to rebuild and repair your 6T30 6T40 6T45 6T50 transmission. The 6T40 transmission pump has polished rotor mating surfaces to ensure a constant and equal pressure. Our upgraded spec bushings have been designed to.

The 6T40 transmission is compact in size while increasing fuel economy by five percent. This six speed transmission is packed with features not only for increased fuel economy but also quick acceleration. With the wide variety of gear ratios increase the fuel economy. The 6T40 transmission has the ability to handle different levels of engine torque with its wide ratio spread. This transmissions steep first gear and tall overdrive gear for low rpm highway cruising. Engine noise is reduced and acceleration is maximized.

Hyper-Elliptical Torque Converter
This transmission uses an oval cross-section shape, called “hyper-elliptical”. The shape reduces the thickness which reduces the space used.

IX Gear Pump
IX Gear type fluid pump provides lubrication and shift levels. The pump is IX gear (Drive/Driven) with a machined crescent, which reduces hydraulic efficiency and internal leakage.

Ground and Honed Gears
These minimize gear noise and vibration, the gears are ground and honed and they ensure exact tolerances and dimensions.

General Motors and Ford Motor Company cooperated in 2002 to create a new automatictransaxle, designed for transverse engine applications in cars. The companies jointly committed to investing US$720 million in their manufacturing plants to support the new transmission.

Each company will name and manufacture the transmission separately:

• Ford builds the 6F50 and 6F55 along with the 6F35 (related to the GM 6T40 transmission) at their Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and in the future at Sharonville Transmission in Sharonville, Ohio.
• GM builds the 6T70, 6T75 and 6T80 at Warren Transmission in Warren, Michigan with production starting in July 2006.^[1]

Ford claims the 6F50 is designed to handle 300 hp (224 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m), while General Motors rates their 6T70 to 315 hp (235 kW) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m), the 6T75 to 315 hp (235 kW) and 300 lb⋅ft (407 N⋅m), and the 6T80 to 410 hp (306 kW) and 369 lb⋅ft (500 N⋅m). GM lists the wet (with fluids) weight of the 6T70/75/80 to be between 102 kg (225 lb) and 104.7 kg (231 lb).

Ford appears not to have made a public statement regarding the 6F55's maximum capabilities, but uses it in AWD in the Taurus SHO with an engine rated at 272 kW (370 PS; 365 hp) and 475 N·m (350 lb·ft) of torque (Final drive 2.77:1 standard or 3.16:1 with SHO Performance Pckage), as well as the tenth generation Lincoln Continental with an engine rated at 400 hp (298 kW; 406 PS) and 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m).

The first application of the technology is in the 2007 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKXcrossover SUVs, as well as the Saturn Aura sedan and the Saturn Outlook crossover. It was also used for the Pontiac G6 GTP models and the GMC Acadia models for 2007. Prior to 2009, this transmission had issues caused by a very weak 3,5,R wave plate, which made this transmission prone to failure in GM products. Updated wave plates were released for many clutches in 6T70. The old design wave plates weren’t stress relieved and could break with use. The updated wave plates are available under the followingpart numbers:
