Thank you for the positive comments. Poorhousenext a great reference as well.

Its really about whether you want a 6 speed auto or a 4 speed. Yes the A6 is more expensive, more difficult to fit, but it is an A6.

A6 are getting increasingly popular in swaps even with the additional fitting challenges and the cost.

Have you experienced any problems with fluid starvation under high pressure from using the modified shallow pan? We are working on a 67 corvette restomod with the LSA and 6L90e tranny. We are upgrading the tranny now and discussing the shallow pan vs. normal 6L90e. Please let me know how the shallow pan is holding up under high demand. Thank you for your excellent postings.

Thanks for the positive words. Never had any troubles with the trans. Same pan as VE Commodore/G8 Pontiac so its well proven in the field and competition. And hopefully soon to be Chevy 4 door sports sedan.

Great thread and attention to detail! I recently purchased a 6.2/6L80 out of a 2013 Camaro SS and plan on sticking it in a .....1968 C10.... I know that's blasphemy, but it should be a fun setup. The truck currently has a 383 with a Vortech supercharger (620HP) and a turbo 350. It is fun to drive but not great to cruise in because of the 4.11 gears. I'm hoping the 6.2 and the A6 will be both, especially with the TVS1900 Maggie I plan on putting on it. I do have a few questions about the 6L80. How hard is it change out the output shaft to a slip yoke? Who sells these parts? Do you know a remedy to the lack of a dipstick? Did Lokar make one? What did you end up doing for the TUTD feature? Thanks in advance. Here's a couple pics of the truck with it's current setup and with the forth coming powerplant.

There is another thread on the output shaft and slip yokes. Dipstick, still dont run one. There is a GM level check procedure which works well. Trucks generally do have a dipstick as I understand it. TUTD hardly ever use. Runs fine in auto mode when tuned right. TUTD buttons are on a remote control .

Do you have a link to the slip yoke thread and the tranny level check procedure? I've thought about having a custom driveshaft built by the driveline shop similar to the one piece ones they make for the 2010+ Camaros. It uses a Porche cv-joint to connect to the transmission. Any info or reference to the remote control TUTD? That sounds pretty slick. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Here's a link to the custom driveshaft I was talking about:

Great thread , I am traveling down the same road as I am changing my 4l80 to a 6l80.Did some searching and came up with the pan and filter #s for the g8 and the caddy . has anyone used the caddy pan? and is there much difference between the g8 pan ? I may just order both of them and compare.

caddy - pan 24248164
filter 24236933

g8 - pan 24239528
filter 24236932
Thanks , JOHN

I am putting a L92/6L80 into a 1965 Buick Skylark. As to the standard yoke I put one in out of a 4L80E. Fits perfectly. Mine did not have one when I bought it so I don't know what was in there to begin with.

As to the dipstick I am going to try the factory truck one. It is pretty cheap compared to the Lokar. If it does not work out I will use the Lokar unit for a plan "B". As to the TUTD I have currently just run the wire(purple) into the dash area from the transmission. This way if I decide to do something with it the wire will be there.

rsz288

Would love to know the answer to that one as well.

On checking it looks like the 24243414 is the same as 24248164 and is the Cadi CTS and Camaro pan. Which is deep. Maybe the original Cadi picture showing a shallow pan was misnamed.

trobert3

RSZ288, I would love to see some better pics of the crossmember you fab up to support the trans.

john 67

the 164 pan is deep ,the 528 is the shallower angled one , takes off about an inch. JOHN

im also dealing with this issue. this one is an ls3 erod crate engine (e67 ecm) and 6l80 transaxle. the only code i get is u0100. im able to read and write both the ecm and tcm, can scan both, but trans is in limp mode.

rsz288: i sent you a pm already. any help you can give would be appreciated

1989GTA

Are the E67 ecm and the 6L80 transmission from the same vehicle? If from different years or sources that could be your problem. The ECM and TCM must match.

Sharkey_t

no they dont match. the ecm is an erod crate engine ecm and the transmission is 2007 corvette.

1989GTA

That is most likely your problem. The best thing to do and maybe not the cheapest is to upgrade the TCM in the 6L80 transmission to match your ECM. The other option is to get an ECM that matches the 2007 transmission TCM. I would get ahold of the people who sold you the crate engine and see what they can do or have to say.

Sharkey_t

well, the project was started over 2 1/2 years ago, as best anyone can remember the engine has been there for 2 years, and the customer supplied it.

my dilemma is knowing what to try. ive read at some point that gm changed the operating systems and old and new wont communicate. ive read 2009, others say 2010. after some more reading what id like to do is flash the ecm and tcm with a complete file from another vehicle. i have a stock file from a 2009 ctsv with 6.2 s/c and 6l90. its not a big deal to change the tuning values over to what i currently have so basicly id be doing an operating system swap. what i dont know is does the 09 ctsv fall under the early or later operating system, and if the gmpp ecm falls under the early or late operating system. the 09 ctsv is the earliest i can find an e67/t43 combo.

just thinking here, i guess this might be worth a shot. just when i started working with this shop they did an ls3 and 4l80e from a trail blazer ss (i had to come in to make that mess work). if i were to get that pcm and plug it in, would it in theory work?

1989GTA

I am in the same boat as you are but I got lucky because my transmission is a 2010 year. For me that means I can probably run a 2010 Camaro E38 ECM.

In my research it seems that 2008 and 2009 are similiar. There were changes again in 2010. Also it is best to use the same year for the ECM and TCM. There are others on this forum who are better versed on the subject than I am. I think you are headed in the right direction. Just have to be careful that the service number on the ECM will take the flash with out it locking up.

Sharkey_t

im going to be able to get my hands on an e67 from an ls2 trailblazer to test with. ive already got the tune licenced, so if this pcm works ill try flashing the gmpp crate engine pcm with that operating system.

Sharkey_t

well i tried the trailblazer e67, no dice. same u0100 code.

im thinking my next step will be to write a calibration for the ls3 using the lsa/6l90 operating system.

1989GTA

You need to see what operating system is in the TCM. Then post the number and see if someone can lead you in the right direction in for a matching ECM.

By the way what year is the Trailblazer program out of? 2007?
