6T30 Clutch Drum 2013, used and ready to install. Fits the 6T30. Ships fast from the USA.
Searching for a fix for a 2013 or later Chevy Cruze or Sonic 1.8L that has no reverse, slips into third and fifth, or lost fourth through sixth? On the 6T30 those clutches live in one housing, and when that housing is damaged it has to be replaced as a unit. This is a good used, original GM 3-5-R and 4-5-6 clutch drum with the input shaft attached, the second design that uses the three-ring support, for 2013-up 6T30 transmissions. GM part numbers listed for it are 24231696 and 24263508.
The 6T30 builds each of its six gears by applying two clutches. Two of the busiest ones, the 3-5-R and the 4-5-6, share this input-driven housing, and the shaft running through it takes engine torque from the converter. The 3-5-R clutch works in third, fifth and reverse; the 4-5-6 clutch works in fourth, fifth and sixth. Oil reaches the pistons through sealing rings on the shaft and support, which is why the ring count and support design matter: the three-ring second design is not the same as the earlier part.
The 3-5-R clutch is a well-known weak point across this transmission family. Sonnax documents wave plates cracking at the tooth corners and damaging the housing, which is why a used drum must be inspected, not just bolted in.
Scan for codes and note which gears are missing; that tells you whether the 3-5-R side, the 4-5-6 side or both are involved. Check fluid level first, because a low 6T30 can imitate a clutch failure. GM's bulletin on P0776 tells technicians to inspect the valve body, pump and 3-5-R housing and piston before condemning the control module, and warns that air testing the 3-5-R clutch through the case ports frequently leads to the wrong answer. Our 6T40 family problems and fixes guide covers that sequence, and the valve body symptoms guide helps rule out the hydraulics.
This drum is for 2013-up 6T30 transmissions in the 1.8L Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic, second design with the three-ring support. GM made running changes inside this family around 2012 and 2013, so before you order, count the sealing rings on your old shaft, compare the housing and spline shape to the photo, and check for 24231696 or 24263508 on the old part. Earlier cars may need the 2008-on 6T30 4-5-6 drum instead. If you are not sure, send us the year and VIN. If the car also engages slowly into Drive or Reverse, read the delayed engagement guide before teardown.
Because this is a used part, clean it and inspect the wave plate area, spline teeth, ring grooves and shaft journals before assembly. Fit new sealing rings and piston seals, install new frictions and steels for both packs, and set each clutch clearance to spec. Air check both clutches on the bench, where the test is meaningful. A failure big enough to need this drum usually means a full rebuild, so pair it with a 6T40 master rebuild kit or the kit for your year, and a new filter and pan gasket kit. Refill with Dexron VI, set the level hot at the check plug, then clear adapts and complete a relearn drive.

The used GM 3-5-R and 4-5-6 clutch housing with the input shaft, second design for the three-ring support. Frictions, steels, wave plates and seals are not included.
It is for 2013-up 6T30 units in the 1.8L Cruze and Sonic. Match the three-ring shaft design and GM numbers 24231696 or 24263508 on your old part, or send us your year and VIN.
Possibly. P0776 with no reverse or slipping third and fifth points to the 3-5-R clutch, which lives in this housing. GM says to inspect the valve body, pump, 3-5-R housing and piston before replacing the control module.
GM warns that air checking the 3-5-R clutch through the case ports often gives a false result. Test it on the bench with the unit apart.
Dexron VI. Set the level hot, roughly 185 to 203 F, at the level set plug, then clear adaptive values so the TCM relearns the new clutches.
