About Our Remanufactured 8L90 Transmission

The best thing that you can do for the longevity of your vehicle is contact the team of transmission experts at Reman-Transmission for timely transmission solutions. There’s no need to invest in a brand new crate 8L90 transmission when you have access to our complete collection of affordable used 8L90 transmissions that are in like-new condition as well as our top shelf remanufactured 8L90 transmissions. As a top supplier that has been providing vehicle owners just like you with excellent-quality used and remanufactured transmissions and parts for years, our company can help get your vehicle back on the street in no time. Whatever you do, don’t settle for a cheap rebuilt 8L90 transmission or even worse, a junkyard 8L90 transmission.
If you aren’t sure whether you should rebuild your current 8L90 transmission or opt for a remanufactured counterpart, consider that by simply replacing worn-out parts in your current transmission, you run the risk of experiencing uneven wear throughout the transmission as a whole which can compromise the life of your transmission. However, when you choose to swap your transmission with a reconditioned transmission, you are guaranteed to receive a transmission that has had all of its parts replaced with components that meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) requirements. Not only that, our skilled Reman-Transmission team corrects any known factory defects as we remanufacture a transmission, which means that customers often receive an even better quality product than they would have straight from the factory.
When you search for “8L90 transmissions for sale” you may see a lot of results with cheap junkyard and rebuilt transmissions that are just not worth your time.

8L90 Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 8L90 a good transmission?
The GM 8L90 is a powertrain transmission that is particularly well-adapted for sports cars, trucks and SUVs. While it offers rapid gear shifting, there have been reports of “shudders'' on 8L90’s straight from the factory, which can be quickly rectified thanks to Reman-Transmission’s excellent factory defect repairs.
Who makes GM 8-speed transmission?
The 8L90 transmission is made by the domestic vehicle manufacturer General Motors, also known as GM. GM started producing the 8L90 in 2014. Reman-Transmission’s highly-skilled team is adept at remanufacturing the GM 8L90 to produce high performing, like-new results that tend to exceed OEM requirements.
How much power can an 8L90 handle?
The GM 8L90 transmission is powerful and can safely exert up to 900whp. That being said, the 8L90 transmission may experience premature wear and tear if it is frequently pushed beyond 800whp, so it is wise to stay between 700-800whp or below for the most longevity out of your 8L90.
How much does it cost to rebuild an 8L90 transmission?
Rebuilding an 8L90 transmission is an undertaking that can be quite costly in terms of both money and time spent on the project. If you are in need of a replacement transmission, a remanufactured 8L90 is a much more affordable and competent option than a rebuild.
8L90 History & Information
The 8L90 Hydra Matic M5U transmission, also known as the GM 8L90, 8L90E or the older 8L45, is an 8-speed longitudinal automatic transmission produced by General Motors (GM) starting in 2014. The 8L90 is found in a wide range of sports cars, luxury cars, trucks and SUVs, particularly in vehicles made by Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC. In fact, the 8L90 was introduced in 2014 with the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra pickup trucks, the GMC Denali, as well as Corvette, Camaro and Cadillac models. With an advanced capacity for power, the 8L90 transmission can handle between 800-900whp (wheel horsepower) but performs best between 700-800whp. The 8L90’s comfortable wheel horsepower range is slightly higher than both of the transmission’s predecessors, the 6L80 and 6L90. The 6L80 does well between around 500-600whp, whereas the 6L90 can handle up to around 700whp. Beyond around 800whp, the 8L90 starts to show signs of wear. For long-term use and consistent performance, it is best to respect its 800whp limit.
The 8L90 is also considerably lighter than previous models, weighing 8 pounds lighter than the 6L90. The 8L90’s successor, the 10L90 transmission, has 2 more forward gears than the 8L90 and is commonly used in GM performance cars. Despite the fact that the GM 8L90 is an automatic transmission with a hydraulic design that does not require the driver to do anything to rapidly shift gears, it is compatible with manual applications with the help of steering wheel paddles. The transmission also has turbine dampers in its torque converter which allows the 8L90 transmission functions more smoothly than a double-clutch transmission so that the driver can truly get in the zone. The 8L90 features 4 gear sets and 5 clutches contained inside of a one-piece aluminum case and integrated bell housing. It has 4WD (4x4) applications as well as 2WD (4x2) applications, which makes for a broad range of uses and suitable vehicles. Some car owners report that 8L90 has been known to slightly shake or “shudder.” Should this occur, it is important to take timely action, investing in the necessary repairs immediately to avoid long-term damage to your vehicle with a transmission flush and fluid change could solve the problem. If that doesn’t solve the problems though, repairing or replacing your GM 8L90 transmission is your only option. Reman-Transmission is the best place in the industry to resolve any issues that you may be experiencing with your used 8L90 transmission.
