Description

Fraser Engines Remanufactured Transmission Quality Standards

Every Fraser Engines remanufactured transmission is built, tested, and validated to deliver dependable performance, long service life, and smooth operation under real-world driving conditions.

What’s Included & How We Ensure Quality

✔️ A remanufactured and improved torque converter is included with every transmission at no additional cost.

✔️ To prevent front seal leaks, vibration, and premature bushing wear, all torque converters are thoroughly tested for leak integrity, lock-up operation, concentricity, and balance.

✔️ Every fully remanufactured valve body receives complete system correction and recalibration, then is tested independently prior to installation.

✔️ All wear-prone valves are restored to stringent specifications and vacuum tested to verify proper sealing and operation.

✔️ Each remanufactured transmission undergoes hot, cold, load, and simulated road testing using our proprietary CARS® (Computer-Aided Road Simulation) dynamometer program, replicating real driving conditions before release.

Warranty You Can Trust

✔️ All Fraser Engines remanufactured transmissions are backed by an industry-leading, no-hassle nationwide warranty, providing real protection and peace of mind long after installation.

Important: The GM 8L45 is an 8-speed automatic transmission used in a wide range of newer GM rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, and trucks. Fitment varies by drivetrain layout (RWD / FWD / AWD), final drive ratio, engine choice, and calibration. Always verify fitment by VIN and RPO codes before ordering.

Why Buy an 8L45 Transmission from Fraser Engines?

The GM 8L45 is an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission engineered for modern rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles that demand smooth shifting, improved fuel efficiency, and precise electronic control. When an 8L45 begins to experience harsh shifts, slipping, delayed engagement, or internal failure, replacing it with a properly remanufactured unit is critical.

Fraser Engines provides fully remanufactured 8L45 transmissions built to restore factory-level performance — not used take-outs or shortcut rebuilds. Every unit is engineered for reliability, drivability, and long-term durability.


🔧 Precision Remanufacturing — Built to OEM Standards or Better

Each 8L45 transmission from Fraser Engines is completely remanufactured from the inside out:

✅ Complete teardown, inspection, and ultrasonic cleaning
✅ Replacement of all clutches, steels, seals, gaskets, and friction materials
✅ Updated bushings, bearings, and wear components
✅ Fully remanufactured and recalibrated valve body
✅ Solenoids tested and replaced as required
✅ Remanufactured torque converter included (where applicable)
✅ Precision reassembly to OEM hydraulic and tolerance specifications

This process corrects known wear points and ensures consistent shift quality across all eight gears.


🧪 Tested for Real-World Driving Conditions

Every remanufactured 8L45 transmission is thoroughly tested before shipment to verify:

✔ Proper clutch apply and release timing
✔ Smooth, responsive gear changes
✔ Accurate torque converter lock-up
✔ Stable hydraulic pressure under load
✔ Performance in hot, cold, and simulated road conditions

This testing ensures your transmission is ready for real-world driving — not just bench-checked.


🚗 Designed for Modern GM Performance & Luxury Vehicles

The 8L45 transmission is used in a variety of late-model GM vehicles where drivability and efficiency matter most, including:

  • Cadillac ATS / CTS

  • Chevrolet Camaro (V6 & select V8 applications)

  • Cadillac CT4 / CT5 (select trims)

  • GM rear-wheel-drive and AWD platforms

Because the 8L45 is highly calibration- and VIN-specific, Fraser Engines verifies your VIN, drivetrain, and configuration before shipment to ensure exact fitment and avoid installation issues.

Fraser Engines backs every remanufactured 8L45 transmission with strong warranty coverage designed to protect your investment:

✅ Nationwide parts & labor warranty (program dependent)
✅ Torque converter coverage where applicable
✅ Warranty claims handled directly by Fraser Engines
