GM - 6 Speed RWD - Hydra-Matic - (2005).pdf

The Hydra-matic 6 Speed RWD Technician’s Guide

is another Powertrain publication from the

Technician’s Guide series of books. The purpose of

this publication, as is the case with other Technician’s

Guides, is to provide complete information on the

theoretical operating characteristics of this

transmission. Operational theories of the mechanical,

hydraulic and electrical components are presented in

a sequential and functional order to better explain

their operation as part of the system.

In the first section of this book entitled “Principles

of Operation”, detailed explanations of the major

components and their functions are presented. In

every situation possible, text describes component

operation during the apply and release cycle as well

as situations where it has no effect at all. The

descriptive text is then supported by numerous

graphic illustrations to further emphasize the

operational theories presented.

The second major section entitled “Power Flow”,

blends the information presented in the “Principles of

Operation” section into the complete transmission

assembly. The transfer of torque from the engine

through the transmission is graphically displayed on

a full page while a narrative description is provided

on a facing half page. The opposite side of the half

page contains the narrative description of the hydraulic

fluid as it applies components or shifts valves in the

system. Facing this partial page is a hydraulic

schematic that shows the position of valves, ball check

valves, etc., as they function in a specific gear range.

The third major section of this book displays the

“Complete Hydraulic Circuit” for specific gear

ranges. Fold-out pages containing fluid flow

schematics and two dimensional illustrations of major

components graphically display hydraulic circuits.

This information is extremely useful when tracing

fluid circuits for learning or diagnosis purposes.

The “Appendix” section of this book provides

additional transmission information regarding

lubrication circuits, seal locations, illustrated parts

lists and more. Although this information is available

in current model year Service Manuals, its inclusion

provides for a quick reference guide that is useful to

the technician.

Production of the Hydra-matic 6 Speed RWD

Technician’s Guide was made possible through the

combined efforts of many staff areas within the

General Motors Powertrain Division. As a result,

the Hydra-matic 6 Speed RWD Technician’s Guide

was written to provide the user with the most current,

concise and usable information available regarding

this product.
