BLANC, Mich. – Finding just the right transmission to handle the peak loads delivered by GM’s high-performance race engines just got easier. Today, GM Performance Parts (GMPP) announced its all-new SUPERMATIC™ line of high-performance automatic transmissions.

“Racers have to know that the transmission they’re using can take the punishment that they dish out, pass after pass,” said Dr. Jamie Meyer, product marketing manager, GM Performance Parts. “To produce that type of transmission, you have to rely on all-new components that can handle these stresses – the SUPERMATIC 4L85-E has been tested to the limits.”

The SUPERMATIC 4L85-E heavy-duty, high-performance transmission is based on the GM Hydra-Matic 4L80, and was designed specifically for GMPP’s powerful big-block family of engines. It was meticulously tested and validated to the high standards of GM Performance Parts, using both dynamometer and real-world, in-car testing. In fact, the mighty ZZ572/720 crate engine put this transmission through its pace, so racers can be confident that it will perform dependably on the track.

Unlike some transmissions that are remanufactured, the SUPERMATIC 4L85-E is assembled with all-new parts, several upgraded internal components and a revised valve body. It is supplied with a production torque converter (approximately 1,800- to 2,000-rpm stall speed), and requires the GMPP transmission controller (part number 12497316 – sold separately) that allows the user to customize the shifts to fit the driver’s style or engine combination. When the transmission is used with a late-model LS engine, a special transmission adapter must be used (part number 19154766).

With all of its enhancements and modifications over the production 4L80 transmission, the SUPERMATIC 4L85-E is rated to 720 horsepower (537 kW) and 685 lb.-ft. of torque (929 Nm). And while it was designed specifically to be used with a big-block, the high torque capacity makes it a perfect complement to LSX and small-block engines.

GM Performance Parts – tested to the limits, backed by GM

GM Performance Parts crate engines undergo a 50-hour, full-throttle engine dynamometer validation that requires the engines perform from peak horsepower to peak torque. GMPP also installs crate engines in its own engineering vehicles for testing and continuous improvement. That commitment to quality and durability enables General Motors to back GM Performance Parts crate engines with a 24-month/50,000-mile warranty (whichever occurs first). All GM Performance Parts components carry a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty.



Enthusiasts who crave the latest technology, maximum horsepower and the expertise and confidence backed by GM, can purchase GMPP crate engines, blocks, heads, high-performance transmissions and components, from GMPP Authorized Center dealers or any other GM dealership nationwide.
