Spin-on style filter and pan gasket for the GM 6T40 and 6T45 front-drive six-speed, fitting the 2010-2011 Equinox, Terrain, LaCrosse and 2011 Cruze.
This is the early-production filter and pan gasket pair for the GM 6T40 and 6T45, listed as replacing OE 24230708, 24246194 and the Raybestos-style 515699. It is aimed at the first wave of these six-speeds: the 2010-2011 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain with the 2.4L, the 2011 Cruze 1.4L turbo and 1.8L, and the 2011 Buick LaCrosse and Regal 2.4L. If you are rebuilding one of those units, or you have it apart for a leak or a clutch failure, this is the fresh filter and seal that goes back in.
The filter is the only thing between the bottom of the case and the pump inlet. Everything the clutches shed, plus any debris from a failed 3-5-R wave plate or a cracked piston, gets pulled toward it. On these 2010-2011 Gen 1 units the control side is also sensitive to dirt: Transmission Digest documented a 2011 Cruze with a damaged control solenoid filter plate that let pressure cross into a pressure switch circuit and dropped the car to neutral on the 1-2 shift. A clean main filter does not fix that plate, but a loaded one keeps feeding the problem.
Several of those overlap with the early units' known problems, including the 3-5-R wave plate failure tied to P0776 in GM PI0670A, so read the 6T40 common problems guide before you blame the filter.
Start with the level, because a 6T40 that is low or overfilled acts like it has a bad filter. Set it hot at the check plug as described in our delayed engagement guide. If the level is right and the drained fluid is dark, smells burnt, or carries clutch material and steel on the magnet, the filter is due, and so is a look inside the unit.
Listed fitment: Chevrolet Equinox 2010-2011 2.4L (6T45), GMC Terrain 2010-2011 2.4L (6T45), Chevrolet Cruze 2011 1.4L and 1.8L (6T40), and Buick LaCrosse and Regal 2011 2.4L (6T45). Raybestos catalogs the same OE numbers as a 2008-2011 6T40/6T45 filter. GM moved this family to Gen 2 controls for 2012, and later production may use different internal parts, so for a 2012-and-up car match the filter part number from your unit or send us your year and VIN. If solenoid faults turn up during the teardown, the 6T40 solenoid kit fits the same family.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing is for 2010-2011 Equinox and Terrain 2.4L, the 2011 Cruze and the 2011 LaCrosse and Regal 2.4L. Later Gen 2 units may differ, so match the part number from your filter or send us your year and VIN.
Raybestos lists the 24230708 filter as a disassembly-service part, and GM's schedule only calls for a filter change if the filter is serviceable. Plan on it during a rebuild or teardown.
DEXRON VI. GM TechLink lists 4.0-6.0 liters (4.2-6.3 quarts) for a 6T40 fluid change; the final level is always set hot at the check plug.
No. This kit is one filter and one pan gasket. If your pan is bent, dented or rusted, choose the complete pan kit that also includes the pan and 13 bolts.
A new filter and fluid help, but burnt fluid on a 6T40 usually means clutch damage. Check the magnet and pan for clutch material and steel, and review the 3-5-R and piston failures before deciding between service and rebuild.
