About this product

If you drive a GM car, truck or SUV with the 10L90, the heavier-torque version of GM's ten-speed used with engines like the 6.2L V8 and the supercharged Camaro ZL1, and it has started to slam a shift, slip in one gear or throw a control solenoid code, this kit covers the six solenoids that run its clutches. It is a new set of six valve body solenoids cross-referenced to part numbers 24046408, HL3P-7J136-AA and HL3P-7J136-AD. The same solenoid design is shared across the 10L60, 10L80 and 10L90, so the cross-reference is not unique to the 10L90.

How the clutch solenoids work in the 10L90

Transmission Digest describes the GM and Ford ten-speeds as having eight pressure-regulating solenoids. Numbers 1 through 6 are normally low linear solenoids, one per clutch, and these are the six in this kit. Number 7 sets line pressure and number 8 controls the converter clutch. ATRA's GEARS magazine explains that these solenoids sit directly in the casting and do not flow oil themselves. A pin on the solenoid pushes a clutch control valve, and the valve does the metering. That means the fit of the solenoid in its bore is as important as the coil, and the 10L90's extra torque puts more load on each clutch apply that solenoid controls.

Signs a clutch solenoid is failing

Rule out the valve body before you buy

On these transmissions many solenoid complaints come from the casting around the solenoid. Sonnax's layout of the later GM 10L60/80/90 valve body lists collapsed solenoid retainers that let a solenoid sit crooked in its bore and wear the casting at the valve opening. On the car side, NHTSA campaign 25V-148 covers 10-speed Camaro and Cadillac CT4, CT5 and CT6 models, where GM found valve body wear could cause a pressure drop and unexpected valve movement. Check the VIN for open recalls first. Then read our 10L80 and 10L90 valve body recall guide and the pressure control solenoid guide, which explains why P0747 on later units often points to a worn feed limit valve instead of a solenoid.

Fitment

This set is listed for 10L60, 10L80 and 10L90 valve bodies in Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac applications. It does not fit the Allison 10L1000 used in heavy-duty pickups. GM revised the 10-speed valve body around late 2019, and fitment can vary by year, engine and valve body version. Before ordering, read the part number and band number printed on one of your original solenoids and note the connector color, or send us your year and VIN. Browse matching parts on our GM 10-speed parts page.

Install notes

If the module itself is being reflashed on the bench, the T87A TCM bench harness lets you power and program it off the vehicle.

10L90 Solenoid Kit: common questions

Is this the same kit as the 10L80 solenoid kit?

The six clutch solenoids are shared across the 10L60, 10L80 and 10L90, so the cross-reference numbers are the same. Always match the part and band number on your original solenoids.

Does it include the line pressure and TCC solenoids?

No. It contains the six clutch control solenoids only. Solenoid 7 for line pressure and solenoid 8 for the converter clutch are separate parts.

Will it fit my Camaro ZL1?

It is listed for 10L90 valve bodies, including Camaro applications. Check for the open recall first, then send us your VIN so we can confirm the valve body version.

Do the new solenoids need to be programmed?

Yes. GM characterizes each solenoid, and the control module must be loaded with the solenoid data after replacement, followed by a shift relearn.

Does it fit a 10L1000?

No. The kit is not listed for the Allison 10L1000 heavy-duty ten-speed.

What fluid should I use?

DEXRON ULV. Do not use older DEXRON VI or universal fluids in these transmissions.
