GM 6L80 Transmission wikipedia.org/wiki
The Novak Guide to the GM 6L80 Automatic Transmission novak-adapt.com/knowledge/
GM 6-Speed 6L80 MYC Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission gmauthority.com/blog/
The Hydra-Matic 6L80 (production code MYC) is a six-speed automatic transmission produced by General Motors for use in rear- and rear-biased all-wheel-drive vehicles with a longitudinal powertrain orientation. Developed in-house by General Motors, the Hydra-Matic 6L80 is part of the 6LXX family of fuel-saving, electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmissions that succeeded the 5LXX family.
6L80E/6L90E TRANSMISSION advanceadapters.com/tech-vault
6L80E Specs + Identification 700r4transmissionhq.com/gm-automatic-transmissions
The 6L80 Hydra-Matic transmission is a 6 speed automatic transmission manufactured by General Motors. It was created to help GM meet ever more demanding CAFE regulations on their vehicles. By utilizing more gearing, the 6L80 keeps the car in it’s power band longer, improving the MPG of the vehicle between 4-7% (over the previous generation fours speed transmissions) depending on the configuration of the vehicle that it’s in.
The 6L80E uses four under drive gears and two overdrive gears. It does not have a direct 1:1 ratio like the 4L80E and 4L60E, which is worth noting. The 6L80E’s gear rations are as follows:
1 4.027
2 2.364
3 1.532
4 1.152
5 0.852
6 0.0667
Reverse 3.064

jwruss - For a new battery you may try looking at a high-end Interstate. It was rated a best buy by Consumer Reports
carnau - If your battery is dying over night or after a couple hours you have a parasitic drain going on. Not to bad of a job to do if you have a decent multi meter. Here is a video on replacing the battery just in case someone popped in looking for one.
