#T6L80. 6L80E Center Support Retaining Ring Removal Pliers.
Also needed for servicing the 6L50E in the Cadillac CTS and the 6L90E in GM 2500 pickups.

The 6L80E ushered in a new era as GM’s rear-wheel drive workhorse. A fascinating design that uses a Lepelletier-inspired gear train; it also uses a large aluminum center support which must be removed to gain access to the low/reverse clutch pack and the rear planet assembly.

The center support houses the 2-6 clutch pack on the front side and the low/reverse on the rear. The size of the support and the amount of stress of the two clutch packs it contains made necessary the use of a rather large, extremely stout snap-ring to hold it firmly in place.

Therefore, a rather large and stout pair of pliers is required! Until just recently none were available. To remove the snap ring many have found it necessary to cut into the case from the bottom to gain access with a screwdriver and hammer to "pop" it out of the groove.

Leverage is the name of the game when this much pressure is in play. The engineers burned the midnight oil working through many designs before arriving at what you see. The heavy-duty tips are replaceable, available through your regular tool truck. These are 26 1/2 inches long. This is a very hard job without this tool. Cost $129.00

#C480. 4L80E in C4 Corvette Adapter (1984 - 1996). Swap your 700R4 / 4L60E transmission to the much stronger 4L80E transmission with our new double strength case hardened output shaft and adapter kit. At this time we have in development an adapter kit for the C4 Corvette to replace your 700R4 / 4L60E transmission with the much stronger 4L80E transmission. This 4L80E transmission will be the same length as your 700R4 / 4L60E transmission making it possible to reuse your existing 27 spline driveshaft and C-beam. All that needs to be changed on the 4L80E transmission is the tail housing and output shaft. The full manual shift model works without a computer. This tail housing is made of 6061T6 aircraft aluminum. Cost $599.00

There may be other uses for this shaft. Replace any 700R4 / 4L60E transmission with a 4L80E of the same length. Coming soon 700R4 / 4L60E to TH400 and T-56 to 4L80E adapter kits.
