Not sure which one your car has?

Provide the VIN when booking an appointment, and before you arrive we will check which transmission you have in your car and if we repair it.

  • 6T40 7 models
  • 6T50 6 models

Trade names

What the transmission names mean in Buick

The list above shows the code a mechanic reads: the code from the plate, the parts catalogue number or the design symbol. In a search engine people type something else: the transmission model name or the showroom name. These describe the same transmission. Below are the ones that appear in this list, together with the clutch type, because that decides how the repair runs and what it costs.

Transmission model Trade name Gears Clutch Torque Layout
4L60E Hydra-Matic 4 torque converter longitudinal
6T40 Hydra-Matic 6 torque converter 240-280 Nm transverse
TF-80SC AM6, AF40-6, Geartronic 6 torque converter transverse

Maximum torque is the highest torque the transmission can safely handle without risk of damage. It is the factory figure for the transmission model, not for one particular car. Some codes from the plate have no publicly confirmed model assignment, and those stay in the table without a second name. The VIN number is what finally decides, which we check before you arrive.

Gearbox trouble in your Buick? Write to us

Describe the symptoms: at what speed they appear, with the engine cold or warm, whether there is a jolt when shifting, a delay after engaging a gear, or a message on the dashboard. Add the model year, the engine and the VIN. We will write back with what that suggests and which check makes sense. Whether we take the repair is decided by the diagnostic check.

Which code to look for on the registration document

On the last page of the vehicle registration document there is a dense square. That is the Aztec code.

The last page of the vehicle registration document. The Aztec code is at the bottom, outlined in red.

Give us the VIN, or the year and engine. Either one is enough.

We call back during working hours, usually the same day.

Scan your registration document

Point camera at Aztec code (a square with a dense pattern) on the vehicle registration document. The photo stays on your phone; we only fill in the make, model, year, engine and VIN.
