The 6L family is a series of 6-speed automatic transmissions produced by General Motors for longitudinal engines. It uses a Lepelletier planetary gearset, an epicyclic gearset, which can provide more gear ratios with significantly fewer components than prior models could. It was first realized in 2000 with the 6HP from ZF Friedrichshafen. The Ford 6R, AWTF-80 SC, and ZF 6HP transmissions are based on the same globally patented gearset concept. The AWTF-80 SC is the only one for transverse engine installation.
