Should I Convert My Automatic Transmission to a Manual?
It's a question we get multiple times a week - "What is the cost to convert my automatic transmission to a manual?" or, "Can my automated transmission be converted to manual transmission?"
In our first video on the topic, Troy from National Transmission South Calgary offers his thoughts regarding this conversion. TLDR: It's a lot more complicated and expensive than most people think (especially without a pre-existing conversion kit or donor vehicle.) You can read more about an automatic to manual conversion on our website here:

Hello I can order a converter for a 6L80. I live in New Caledonia
the problems are the computers and solenoids, go back to basics....problems solved..keep it simple !!
You definitely don’t know torque converters. There’s a turbine inside of them, not friction pads that contact the front face.. 🤡
I have a 2018 Silverado trans just started shifting hard what the fix,?
It's has a6L80
GM should put them billets in all their torque Converters and illuminate the thermostat. In All there transmission That's a big joke. That's where all the heat's coming from. The money these people pay for these vehicles. Today is a no-brainer, should have good parts.
idiot
If your selling your car and need the transmission rebuilt don't get it done here cause they won't honor the warranty to the new owner. $6500 wasted.
how is this not a recall? crazy thanks for the info.
drive in mud daily...
Is it so hard to explain what the ABS system is!? What’s the point of this video 👎
2017 Chevy Tahoe LS. Have to rev it to about 2k RPM to get it to go into drive. Once it goes into drive, it will shift perfectly. Fuild is red, no leaking and no burning smell. Any advice?
My 2024 8L90 is gust as bad
What would cause a 6l90 to completely locked up . Even in neutral the truck won’t go forward or backward
if you want more people to come in to your shop that watch from UA-cam, you should give a price range on what it would cost that way people have an idea. Who knows your prices could be way higher than anybody's out there.
Had to replace my transmission on my 2015 Tahoe at 103K. Luckily, I purchased an extended warranty, and the new transmission was covered. I have since moved on from Chevy/GM vehicles....too many issues
Why tf you talking about brake fluid
I guess "brake fluid" is just the name hydraulic fluid used for the hydraulic systems like brake and clutch.
So brake fluid is also used for the clutch ?
Everything billet that’s what’s in mine now
Gonna need your list now my guy🤌
Vans thru 2020*
GMC 2016 5.3 L 93,000 miles just started shuddering this week…
I actually worked for a torque converter tier 1 supplier as a test engineer. Your component nomenclature of the Torque Converter is wrong. The base that attaches to the flex plate is the called the cover, and the opposite side is called the impeller/pump of the TC.
AWESOME ADVICE GOT A DONOR VERY EASY SWAP OVER
BS, the weld is not the problem man. The heat marks are from the manufacturing process and the fluid will keep surface temps pretty even. HERE IS THE REAL PROBLEM--The programming in the TCM / ECM commands torque converter apply in early gears and allows 20-40 rpm slippage. Actual slippage is much more. The torque converter never actually locks completely. It blows my mind why GM does this shit for smooth shifts and fuel mileage. It also blows my mind that people don't realize what's actually happening and why. HP tuners will fix this. Turn of DOD, and command less or no allowed slip. The torque converter is actually pretty good and has superior clutch material compared to standard lockup clutches.
I have a 16 silverado bought it new it has 170k. I've changed the thermostat and lower ball joints. It has the original taillight bulbs "not led" still on it. 6000 hours on the motor runs and drives like a champ. Change the fluids every now and then, always use synthetic. I bought a bypass for the transmission thermostat and will be installing this week. I also drive with the transmission in manual gear 5 which prevents afm from engaging.
I did the trans thermostat bypass when I bought it at about 60k miles. Just have up the ghost last week at 138k. Need a better converter and tuning from day 1 to really correct the issues, cooler will only prolong the inevitable.
I have a 15' GMC Sierra 160k ... And the manual 5th does more than just save your lifters. By cancelling the AFM you bring the torque converter target slip from thousands of RPMs down into the hundreds. Less heat!
😂
Do you have any shop you can recommend in South Florida 3/10/24
I own a 2016 Chevy Silverado. The easiest way to fix the piece of crap transmission is to not buy one in the first place, It had been serviced and still went out at 116000 miles.
This is another reason folks are buying Toyota trucks.
We had one of those come into the shop broke the transfer case,transmission,front and rear diffs....and took out fuel and brake lines....
Gm transmissions fail as if on a timer - actually a warning timer that make their models show up at the used car lot.
It’s all junk!
GM has become a crap company, engine failure, transmission failure...In fact, all usa made car/truck are now crap
Thanks this explains a lot about these 8 sp transmissions .Great video .
Sooo.. what youre saying is... we're fucked and need a lot of money to fix it..😂😂😂😂. I rather get that thing running just enough to trade it in.
could you tell me the replacement number for the billet converter for a 2017 6l80/6l90 Chevy Silverado, please? I'm from Ca.I don't know where you are at
2018 was not the last year for the 6L90 , my 2019 Express 3500 has a 6L90. Wikipedia lists this transmission as 2010 to present in Express 2500 and 3500.
I noticed that you're ñocated in Canada, it's a stretch to get out there, I live in Texas, any shops in the US, you gave me hope, I have experienced a shudder when I start going over a slight hill and at times on level surface, we put the computer on and nothing shows up other then a coil pack that was misfiring, corrected that and replaced all the spark plugs and wires, new struts, rear shocks, not what else it could be but in the transmission and possibly the Torque Converter like you broke down, how can I get my hands on one the Billet Torque Converter to have installed in the transmission, do you sell them to individuals or shop, Thank you, Awesome JOB breaking it down
So if mine is currently operating fine would it be worth it to take it in and having a new/upgraded TC installed? I’ve got a 17 suburban.
What is the repair for a bad pump?
I have a 2015 2500hd and the transmission overheats. I don’t have a cooler bypass like a lot of these transmissions have. Is there still an upgrade I can do to get it to run cooler? When it is hot I touch the exterior cooler and it is ice cold. Please help. Thanks
I purchaes an upgraded thermostat from my GM dealer it lowered temp to around 140.cost about $120.
New car one day over. Next day while starting disboard display warning light low oil flow.. Star display board show.after running disappear.sir.why ?
I've got a 2016 1500, at 87k miles, and it just started slipping today. I am so heartsick. Can't afford this, worst possible time of year. Life goes on.
Hows it holding up
Bro,I have a 17 sierra,& same shi happening..Im just gonna grab a new updated tranny..
Add fluid
I feel ya man, just bought a 15' with 87k. Private seller, paid cash. Two days later lost the trans 😢
Same thing 2015 Chevy Silverado lt. just hit 80 k maintenance on point.
My joint on my 98 durango doing 65mph on freeway and grenaded my tranferscase
I have a question my transmission already fail but i dont know if to take it to the dealer and fix it or just to regular guy they fix transmission is it the quality that they put in i need advise
The description of the drum failure could be based on fact. However, most of what was said about the torque converter is inaccurate. 1) 'metal' does not automatically harden from being heated. 'Steel', which is what torque converter s are made from, does not harden unless it has a high carbon content. Steel with a high carbon content is not suitable for deep stamping. In fact, only high quality sheet stock is suitable for stamping 2) Using vague terms like 'failure rate' with no actual facts is equivalent to marketing, which is another word for propaganda. Failure rate of 5 in 1,000 may be 'improved' to 4.7 in 1,000 but that is still an unacceptable rate. So, what is the failure rate of the factory torque converters? What is the rate of your soultion? To just say 'improved' is pathetic, frankly. Explain why suddenly a specific torque converter has a mysterious failure when these parts have been mass produced by US car makers since 1952. Using welded steel blocks as mounting points is used on huge diesel engines, so your claim that this is the 'failure point' lacks any credibility at all, particularly since the blocks are not tearing loose and leaving cracks or holes, and the entire torque converter body is a weldment with a 360 degree radial weld on the diameter of the stamping. You will need to do a lot better than this to make your case, especially since the only 'boogie man' the manufacturer has come up with is improperly formulated fluid.
I have a 19 GMC Sierra limited with a 6 speed transmission. It failed at 36k. They replaced torque converter and rebuilt transmission. 6 months later, same problem. Dealer puts refurbished transmission- truck is in shop for a month. 2 months later the refurbished transmission has szme problem. They say it’s a valve body issue; in the shop for 2 weeks. They replaced valve body but dealer says the transmission is still not functioning properly. No word yet on the repair or when I get the truck back. Besides telling me to get rid of the truck; has anyone managed to get the dealer/gmc to buyback their truck? Thanks
This helped, thanks!
I see for 2023 all the HD trucks even gassers are getting Allisons now. I think GM has given up on the failure prone 6L90's.
