Its the 6L80E. Nobody offers standalone electronics right now to make it work as a swap candidate. It has a TCM and all the solenoids packaged into one unit inside the transmission. Until someone offers a compatable controller its at a standstill.

Not a big thing, but GM dropped the "E" on all of its new 6 speeds. Since all transmissions are electronic these days, they felt there was no need to call out the E anymore. It's simply called the 6L80.
