Description of the machine device Punch Powerglide 6L50

This 6-speed automatic transmission has been installed on models from GM since 2006. The transmission belongs to the Medium-Duty class and is designed for a torque of less than 450 Nm. Since 2015, Punch Powertrain has been producing a clone of this gearbox for the emerging market.

By design, this is a classic hydromechanical automatic transmission for rear and all-wheel drive cars, where a torque converter, a rotary pump, planetary gears, clutch packs, a hydraulic system, and a control system for this transmission are combined in one housing. A distinctive feature is the built-in torsional vibration damper or CPVA, which effectively dampens rotational unevenness, significantly reducing vibration from the gearbox.

The machine is controlled by eight solenoids: two types of On-Off and six regulators.

Maintenance schedule for automatic transmission Punch Powerglide 6L50

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the box automatic 6L50

Блок управления

Like many modern automatic transmissions, the control board here is combined with a block of solenoids and is located inside the transmission housing and therefore often suffers when it overheats.

Drum cracks

Often, when disassembling such machines, servicemen find cracks in the drum. Because of this, the gearbox does not switch from second to third gear and reverse does not turn on.

Weak torque converter

The torque converter and its hub do not like long driving at speeds over 120 km / h. With this frequent operating mode, repairs may be needed up to 100 km. The same, only to a lesser extent, applies to the lobe-type rotary pump.

Oil leaks

This problem follows from the previous one, the torque converter seal often flows here.

Main pressure valve

In the pump stator, the main pressure valve of the transmission can wear out and wedge, and the box immediately begins to switch very hard. It is better to change it to an analog.

The resource of the automatic transmission according to the manual is 200 km, but with frequent oil changes it is 000 thousand km higher.
