Default Circle D 6L80E **New 300M Billet Shaft**

It’s finally here...after a solid year of R&D Circle D's Custom Billet 4-5-6 hub & shaft assembly is ready for you. The shaft is CNC machined from 300M material and the clutch hub is 4140 material, then heat treated and stress relieved for maximum durability. This is not just an OEM replacement, it uses our "Super Drum" clutch pack, which is equivalent to 11 OE clutches, OE is just 6. They are Carbon based friction plates and Nitrided Steels and we still use an extra thick Apply Plate and End Plate so no compromises on coning. This is an 80% clutch apply surface area improvement over stock, huge improvement.

This is currently available in our CDT rebuild. We are ramping up production and hope to have them available for sale individually soon.

Whats the common failure point with these trans' and how much power in a C6 can they handle before they need to be rebuilt?

Common weak areas: 4-5-6 shaft, burnt 4-5-6 and 3-5-R Clutches. We've seen planets break also.
Without tuning, we see issues around 400HP with these units.

Thanks for the questions!
