Used Chevy Transmission

Chevrolet is a division of General Motors, one of the big three in the U.S. automotive markets. Interestingly, the ousted GM founder William C. Durant founded the Chevrolet in 1911. Durant used Chevrolet to gain controlling interest in General Motors. Later, this reverse merger helped him back to the GM presidency. In 1919, Alfred Sloan picked Chevrolet as the volume leader amongst all brands under General Motors. He also gave the marketing slogan a car for every purse and purpose. This maxim speaks volumes about the wide range of this brand. Chevy helped General Motors compete with many of Ford's lineups, especially the 1919 Model T. They marketed Chevy in the United States and automotive markets worldwide. Due to the interoperable ease, the used Chevy transmission sells like hotcakes online and offline. We will look into the evolution of Chevrolet in terms of transmissions and powertrains.

Chevy made it to the grand stage with their 1911 Series C Classic Six. It's a 4.9 L engine pumped up to 40 hp. Importantly, the car raced to a top speed of 65 mph. It was one of the top speeds achieved in the early 19th century. The 3-speed manual transmission was the sole option in Chevy models till 1941. It was during that year, Chevy launched the G506 which first used a 4-speed manual transmission in their lineups. The 3.9 line engine offered horsepower of up to 83 hp, enough to power the large truck. They used similar transmission in their 1941 Suburban (2nd Gen) station wagon, 1945 Fleetline, 1945 Stylemaster and 1946 Fleetmaster. However, they reverted to a 3-speed manual transmission in their 1947 Suburban (3rd Gen). Their 1953 Chevy 150 was sandwiched between automatic cars in regards to Chevy's timeline. 3-speed manual continued till the 1970s for Chevy, while the brand parallely launched the automatic cars.

In the late 1960s, Chevy started progressing to a 4-speed manual transmission. Their 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS 396 reached a top speed of 139 mph, also doing a 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. In the mid-priced segment, they launched a 4-speed manual transmission car, the 1965 Corvair (2nd Gen).

The budget car, 1985 Sprint using a 5-speed returned great sales figures.

2-speed automatic

Chevy ventured into a 2-speed automatic transmission with their 1953 Corvette (1st Gen) C1. The model crosses the 100 mph mark in terms of top speed, and it does 0 to 60 mph in 11.5 seconds. The 1955 Beauville, which came fitted with a 2-speed automatic, almost kissed a top speed of 100 mph and raced a 0 to 60 mph in 13.7 seconds. Not so frequently, 2-speed automatics kept repeating in Chevrolet models. The 1958, Biscayne (1st Gen) using a 3.6 L engine pumped up to 145 hp. Similar specifications were returned by 1958 Brookwood (1st Gen). Later, the 1959 Impala (2nd Gen) reached a top speed of 100 mph. With a 4.6 L engine producing 185 hp of power, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 13.4 seconds. Their 1959 Kingswood (1st Gen) station wagon again made good use of a 2-speed automatic. So did the 1960 C/K (1st Gen) semi-pickup truck. The 1963 Corvette (2nd Gen) C2 reached a top speed of 115 mph.

4-speed automatic

4-speed automatics were part of Chevy since their 1955 Suburban (4th Gen) and 1955 Apache. In 1960, the mainstreaming of the 4-speed automatic transmission was automated with the 1960 Suburban (5th Gen). With a 4.3 L engine, the vehicle pulled a horsepower of 165 hp. Later the 1988 C/K 4th Gen, a sub-pickup truck proved decently powerful. The 1991 Caprice (4th Gen) returned a top speed of 127 mph and did a 0 to 60 in just 11 seconds. The Tahoe launched a year later, reached a top speed of 104 mph, and did a 0 to 60 mph in 11.1 seconds. In 1994, they launched the sportier Impala, which reached top speed of 142 mph, doing a 0 to 60 mph in under 8 seconds. The next year, the S-10 Blazer proved sporty again with a top speed of 118 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in under 9 seconds.

They employed a multi-mode elec transaxle in their 2016 Volt (2nd Gen). Moreover, they went to 9-speed automatics in models such as the 2018 Equinox (3rd Gen), 2018 Transverse (2nd Gen), and more. They also used 6-speed automatic transmissions in many of their models and lineups, up until their 2018 Silverado (4th Gen) model. Chevy has been into many forms of transmission across many speeds.
