The Hydra-Matic 4L65 are differentiated primarily because of gearset design. This four-speed automatic transmission has five pinion gears for unrivalled strength. This heavy duty (HD) variant of the 4L60 features more robust parts that provide increased strength.
The Hydra-Matic 4L65 is also characterized by rigid structure and low noise design. These transmissions are state of the art for rear-drive and four-wheel-drive cars and trucks because of their adaptive shift electronic controls and GM’s proprietary Electronic Controlled Capacity Clutch (ECCC) technology. The ECCC allows sophisticated variable clutch slip to dampen engine pulses, providing smooth shifting and driveline feel. The transmissions also take directions from vehicle powertrain control modules to avoid hunting between gears when climbing hills.
Finally, as part of a corporate-wide reduction of environmentally hazardous materials, the use of hexavalent chrome as a material coating is eliminated in the 4L65 transmissions.
