transmission swap
The 8L 45 is an eight-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors debuting in the 2016 Cadillac CT6. It is designed for use in longitudinal engine applications attached to the front-located engine with a standard bell housing. It is a hydraulic (hydramatic) design sharing much with the 8L 90 transmission. Estimated weight savings over the heavier duty 8L 90 is 33 pounds (15 kg). Gear ratios used enable a wide 7.0 ratio spread.
The 8L 90 is an eight-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors. It is designed for use in longitudinal engine applications either attached to the front-located engine with a standard bell housing or in the rear of the car adjacent to the differential (as in the Corvette). It is a hydraulic (hydramatic) design. GM also produces a similar design with the smaller 8L 45.
Both gearboxes are based on the layout of the ZF 8HP transmission from 2008, with the only difference being that gearsets 1 and 3 are swapped.
