About this product

This product is titled as a 6T50 clutch module, but the listing describes more than a plate set: an overhaul gasket and seal kit, friction and steel clutch plates, pistons and a filter for the GM 6T40, 6T45 and 6T50 six-speeds. It is aimed at someone with an early 6T50 out of a Captiva, Regal or Antara that slips, flares or has burnt fluid and who wants the wear parts in one order. Read the fitment section first: the listing gives two different generation clues, and the 6T50 itself only entered production in 2010.

What these parts do in a 6T50

The 6T50 is the high-torque version of GM's front-drive six-speed, rated by GearboxList at up to 350 Nm and sold as MHK for front drive and MHJ for all-wheel drive. It has no bands; every gear comes from two of its five clutch packs, each applied by a piston. On an early unit the frictions, steels and piston seals wear together, so a set that covers all three means you are not putting new plates behind a piston that leaks pressure. The photo shows the seal, gasket and filter portion: pan gasket, filter, metal-clad seals, bushings, O-rings and shaft sealing rings.

Symptoms on early 6T50 units

How to confirm before you buy

Set the fluid level hot at the check plug, pull codes and note which gears misbehave. If the symptom is no reverse with third and fifth also slipping, read our 6T40-family wave plate failure guide; pieces of a broken wave plate in the pan mean the unit has to come apart. The no reverse guide covers the other causes to rule out first.

Fitment: check the generation

The title says 2008-11 and the listing's interchange list includes GM filter 24230708, which points at early units. The listing description also says Generation 3, 2014-up only. Those clues describe different transmissions, and GM's product update bulletin shows the 6T50 moving to Gen 2 hardware in 2012. For a 6T50, 2008-11 effectively means 2010-2011 vehicles. Read the eighth character on the control module label: 1, 2 or 3 is Gen 1, and B, C or D is Gen 2. Send us that, or the year and VIN, and we will confirm the kit matches before it ships. If your unit is a 2015-up Gen 3, the Gen 3 6T50 friction module is the matching plate set. This kit is the same item as our 6T50 master rebuild kit 2008-11.

6T50 Clutch Module 2008-11: common questions

Is this only a clutch module?

No. The listing describes an overhaul kit plus friction and steel plates, pistons and a filter. The photo shows the gasket, seal and filter portion. Contact us if you want the contents confirmed for your unit before ordering.

Will it fit my 2011 Captiva or Regal 6T50?

The title and the 24230708 filter point to early units, but the description says Gen 3 only. Check the generation character on your control module label or send us your year and VIN so we can confirm it.

Why does 2008-11 matter for a 6T50?

The 6T50 went into production in 2010, so on this unit the range really means 2010-2011 builds, before GM's 2012 change to Gen 2 hardware.

What should I check besides the clutches?

The 3-5-R wave plate and housing lugs, the 4-5-6 drum, and the bonded 1-2-3-4 piston. A cracked piston causes P2723 and falling out of gear.

What fluid and relearn does it need?

DEXRON VI, about 8.2 L dry. Set the level hot at the check plug, clear the shift adapts and drive through every gear to relearn.
