General Motors is an innovator of automatic transmissions, introducing the Hydra-Matic in 1940.^[1] This list includes some GM transmissions.

Because so many still own this compact SUV, it is important for owners and technicians to refer to a Saturn Vue repair manual in case any damages occur. The Vue’s first generation was in production from 2002 until 2007 and came with a variety of engine and transmission options. In 2005, Nissan added a V6 to the range of options. The truck was available with a five speed manual or a four speed automatic transmission in most models. The Nissan Frontier was sold with a number of different body styles. A standard cab and king cab were available, in addition to the popular crew cab, which used a long wheel base frame with. The Frontier was initially offered with a variety of engines and transmissions worldwide, but the North America market received either a gasoline-powered inline four or a 2.7 liter diesel engine. In 2005, Nissan added a V6 to the range of options. The truck was available with a five speed manual or a four speed automatic transmission in most.

Early models[edit]

The GM Hydra-Matic was a success and installed in the majority of GM models by 1950. Through the 1950s, all makers were working on their own automatic transmission, with four more developed inside GM alone. All of GM's early automatic transmissions were replaced by variants of the Turbo-Hydramatic by the 1970s.

• 1940–1967 Hydra-Matic — Oldsmobile (now the trade name for all GM automatic transmissions)
• 1948–1963 Dynaflow — Buick
• 1950–1973 Powerglide — Chevrolet (also used by Pontiac, Holden, Vauxhall and Opel)
• 1968-1971 Torquedrive- Chevrolet ( Camaro and Chevy II, Nova. Manually shifted on Column. )
• 1957–1961 Turboglide — Chevrolet (V8 models only, except Corvette)
• 1958–1959 Flightpitch — Buick
• 1961–1963 Dual Path Turbine Drive — Buick
• 1961–1964 Roto Hydramatic — Oldsmobile/Pontiac (also used by Holden)
• 1964–1969 Super Turbine 300 — Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac (Oldsmobile Jetaway)
• 1968–1969 Torquedrive — Chevrolet (manually column shifted 2 speed automatic, 6 cyl only)
• 1956-1964 4 speed Controlled coupling HydraMatic, also known as Cadillac 315 or P 315 HydraMatic, Oldsmobile Jetaway, Pontiac Super HydraMatic.
• TempestTorque, ( Pontiac) a two speed based on Powerglide, but having the added feature of ' Split Torque ' dividing the engine power between mechanical connection and the torque converter in high gear.

Turbo-Hydramatic[edit]

The Turbo-Hydramatic was used by all GM divisions, and formed the basis for the company's modern Hydramatic line. The basic rear-wheel drive Turbo-Hydramatic spawned two front-wheel drive variants, the transverseTurbo-Hydramatic 125, and the longitudinalTurbo-Hydramatic 425. A third variant was the light-duty rear wheel drive Turbo-Hydramatic 180 used in many European models.

Heavy-duty rear wheel drive

• 1971–1994 3L80HD (heavy duty version of TH400)

Medium-duty rear wheel drive

• 1964–1992 Super Turbine 400/TH400/3L80
• 1969–1986 TH350/TH350C/TH375B/TH250/TH250C
• 1972–1976 TH375 — Light duty version of TH400
• 1976–1987 TH200/TH200C
• 1981–1990 TH200-4R
• 1982–1993 TH700R4/4L60

Light-duty rear wheel drive

• 1969–1998 TH180/TH180C/3L30 — 3-speed European/Asian model. Also manufactured and used by Holden as the Trimatic transmission.

Transverse front wheel drive

• 1980–1999 TH125/TH125C/3T40 — 3-speed light-duty
• 1984–1994 TH440-T4/4T60 — 4-speed medium-duty

Longitudinal front wheel drive

• 1966–1978 TH425 — 3-speed
• 1979–1981 TH325 — 3-speed
• 1982–1985 TH325-4L — 4-speed

Electronic Hydra-Matics[edit]

The next-generation transmissions, introduced in the early 1990s, were the electronic Hydra-Matics based on the Turbo-Hydramatic design. Most early electronic transmissions use the '-E' designator to differentiate them from their non-electronic cousins, but this has been dropped on transmissions with no mechanical version like the new GM 6L80 transmission.

Today, GM uses a simple naming scheme for their transmissions, with the 'Hydra-Matic' name used on most automatics across all divisions.

First-generation longitudinal (Rear Wheel drive)

• 1991–2001 4L30-E — 4-speed light-duty (used in BMW, Cadillac, Isuzu, and Opel cars)
• 1992– 4L60-E/4L65-E — 4-speed medium-duty (used in GM trucks and rear-wheel-drive cars)
• 1991– 4L80-E/4L85-E — 4-speed heavy-duty (used in GM trucks)

First-generation transverse (Front Wheel drive)

• 1995–2010 4T40-E/4T45-E — 4-speed light-duty (used in smaller front wheel drive GM vehicles)
• 1991–2010 4T60-E/4T65-E/4T65E-HD — 4-speed medium-duty (used in larger front wheel drive GM vehicles)
• 1993–2010 4T80-E — 4-speed heavy-duty (used in large front wheel drive GM vehicles, only with Cadillac NorthStar V8.

Second-generation longitudinal (Rear Wheel drive)

• 2000–2007 5L40-E/5L50 — 5-speed medium-duty (used in Cadillac's Sigma vehicles)
• 2007–present 6L45/6L50 — 6-speed medium-duty (used in GM Sigma platform cars)
• 2006–present: 6L80/6L90 — 6-speed heavy-duty (used in GM trucks and performance cars)
• 2014–present: 8L90 — 8-speed heavy-duty (used in GM trucks and performance cars)
• 2016–present: 8L45 — 8-speed light-duty (used in GM luxury cars)
• 2017–present: 10L80 - Ford-GM 10-speed automatic transmission (used in GM light trucks including pickups and related SUVs)
• 2017–present: 10L90 - Ford-GM 10-speed automatic transmission (used in GM performance cars)

*This transmission is part of a joint-venture between General Motors and Ford Motor Company to split development of two transmissions, a longitudinal 10-speed and transverse 9-speed. Ford led the design of the 10-speed transmission, as well as filing the design patents for said transmission. According to an official report by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) the design of the 10-speed gearbox is essentially all Ford, while GM was responsible for designing the 9-speed 9T transverse automatic gearbox. As part of their joint-venture, Ford will let GM use the 10-speed transmission with rights to modify and manufacture it for their own applications. In-exchange for Ford's 10-speed transmission, General Motors will let Ford use its 9-speed transmission for front-wheel drive applications; Ford ultimately declined use of the 9T.^[2][3][4]

Second-generation transverse (Front Wheel drive)

• 2008–present: 6T30/6T40/6T45 — 6-speed light-duty
• 2006–present: 6T70/6T75 — 6-speed medium-duty
• 2016–present: 9T50/9T65 Hydra-Matic – 9-speed^[5]

Hybrid and PHEV[edit]

• 2ML70 - 2-Mode Hybrid transmission.
• 4ET50 (MKA) - Electric Drive Unit Transaxle (First Generation Chevrolet Volt / Cadillac ELR)
