The GM 6T50 is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transaxle designed for transverse front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive applications. It belongs to GM's 6T family of transmissions and is designed to provide a combination of compact packaging, responsive acceleration and efficient highway operation. Depending on model year and powertrain, the 6T50 can be found in select Buick, Chevrolet and other GM passenger-car and crossover applications. Electronic controls coordinate hydraulic pressure, clutch application and torque-converter lockup throughout the transmission's operating range. If your 6T50-equipped vehicle is slipping, shifting harshly, engaging slowly or displaying transmission-related warning codes in Bellevue, NE, Certified Transmission can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Common 6T50 Transmission ProblemsHydraulic pressure and clutch-control problems can cause a variety of symptoms in the 6T50. Valve-body wear, pressure-control faults or solenoid problems may result in delayed engagement, harsh shifts, slipping, RPM flare or inconsistent gear changes. Torque-converter clutch problems can cause shudder, excessive slip or improper lockup. Internal clutch deterioration, sealing problems or mechanical wear can eventually cause loss of individual gears or fail-safe operation. Since electronic, hydraulic and mechanical faults can produce similar symptoms, scan-data analysis and transmission testing can help determine whether the problem can be corrected without complete replacement.
