2015 6r80 upgraded - Clutches, Shaft, Converter!!!

[beefcake]

Next up on the list of supporting mods is the automatic transmission.

Our 2011 car logged between 400-500 passes on the factory automatic transmission, probably more than any other trans out there.

The 2 weak links in the trans are

1st - the oem clutches

2nd - the billet intermediate shaft

We worked closely with Exedy for 2 years helping with the development of the stage 2 automatic clutches for the 6r80.

TCS Stepped up to the plate with a great billet intermediate shaft. The centri's don't seem to break the shaft as much as the big pd blowers do but if your in there, it's not necessarily a bad idea.

Brian Campbell my crew chief and owner of our installation center Finish Line performance got to work on the trans.

This isn't one of those installations that we would recommend doing yourself. You really should have a knowledgeable person.

Brian has done more of these transmissions than just about anyone. We regularly get them shipped in from all over the country and even internationally.

If you ship us the transmission, we can do the clutches or clutch / shaft upgrade for $550. There really isn't any additional cost to do the shaft while your doing the clutches.

Here is a great vid on the teardown of a 6r80 trans performed by Kyle House of Exedy USA.

A couple pics

Of course since we had the trans out, why not throw in one of our Circle D Billet converters!!

Chris' converters have proved to be the leader in 6r80 performance.

You really can't compare anything else out there to the Circle D's. The quickest 6r80 cars out there all run the Circle D.

We can customize a converter for n/a, centri, pd, turbo..

You have 2011-2014 Hubs, late 2014 hubs, and 2015 hubs. Chris has been able to streamline the Circle D's so no matter which year 6r80, the converter will fit any of them.

So, no worry if you are doing a swap, the converter is sure to fit. We opted for a 3c converter, 245mm. This should work perfectly with our Vortech supercharger!

We then got to uploading one of our Lund Custom tunes to make it all work together! I was able to get on the car yesterday and it runs great and we've verified fitment for the 2015's on the clutches, shafts, and converter.

If you want to take your 6r80 to the next level! This is how you do it!!!

I have a feeling we're going to be needing all this in our new project car.

So yall put the new clutches and shafts in for $550? Total?

I wonder what all Circle D does, that they charge nearly $3800 for the transmission upgrade?

the clutches and shaft are $1100 on our combo package, so that would be $1650. We can do a new seal package as well, but I have never seen one with bad seals in it yet.

that sounds like a good thing!

Too much power is almost enough.

Does Exedy have some stage 3 clutches in the works? Whats the max RWHP the Stage 2 Exedy clutches can reliably hold on the street? Whats the weak link in the 6R80 for 1500+rwhp range?

haven't seen or heard anything about a stage 3,

I think the 6r80 could go 7's

Terry we need a auto swap kit!

I agree. I have been regretting not buying an auto car overtime I take it to the track. I enjoy shifting the gears and have been fairly quick for my mods but I would like the added reliability. Overtime I run my 2015 at the track I am nervous the tranny or clutch will let go. I have been trying to assemble a list of required parts for the conversion.

 

[beefcake]

it can be done, you need to buy the trans, pcm, and harness,

I am comfortable with the mechanical install but i am not sure how to have the new PCM and ABS module programed to work with my car.

 

[beefcake]

either a dealer or someone with an IDS tool would have to program all the modules

Is it possible to complete the programing by mailing all the parts off or do they need to be installed in the car? I have had bad luck in the past getting dealers to perform simple tasks related to the ECU programming. I have my doubts most dealers could accomplish this.

 

[beefcake]

no, has to be in car programmed

With the transmission already out and apart, do you charge extra for installing a Circle D stall (other than the price of the new stall, obviously) when replacing the clutches and shaft?
