Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CDT35RL4/80-P clutch pack better than stock for the 6L80 transmission?
The CDT35RL4/80-P clutch pack offers 50% more clutch apply area than stock, using High Energy friction materials and Kolene® steel plates to improve durability, torque handling, and clutch shifting. This results in superior transmission performance under heavy-duty and high-stress conditions.
How do upgraded components like the piston kit and shaft affect 6L80 shift quality?
Upgrading to a high-performance piston kit and billet intermediate shaft helps optimize fluid pressure and reduce heat buildup. These improvements ensure smoother shifts, longer part life, and more consistent performance from your 6L80 transmission.
Why is gear ratio optimization important for 6L80 transmission upgrades?
Tuning or matching your 6L80 gear ratios with performance upgrades like the CDT35RL4/80-P improves torque distribution, acceleration, and fuel efficiency. Proper gear ratio selection also reduces stress on the transmission during high-load applications.
Can the CDT35RL4/80-P clutch kit withstand extreme heat and torque?
Yes, the CDT35RL4/80-P is specifically engineered to withstand high stress and temperature durability. The High Energy friction plates and Kolene®-treated steels are built to handle extreme torque and heat cycles without clutch failure.
Do I need to upgrade the torque converter when installing the CDT35RL4/80-P clutch pack?
While not required, upgrading your torque converter is highly recommended when installing the CDT35RL4/80-P. A performance converter complements the clutch pack by improving power transfer, enhancing launch performance, and reducing transmission strain under load.
