Expert Cadillac Ct5 transmission service at Chicago Transmission since 1987.

Transmission History by Year β€” Cadillac CT5

2020+: 8L45 8-speed automatic (2.0T 4-cyl and 3.0T V6) or 10L80 10-speed (CT5-V with 3.0T)
2022+ CT5-V Blackwing: Tremec TR8060 6-speed manual or 10L80

Known Cadillac CT5 Transmission Problems

  • 8L45 (2.0T/3.0T): Pump failure and TCC shudder β€” the 8L45 pump is a known weak point, especially in high-performance applications. Pump failure causes sudden loss of pressure
  • 10L80 (CT5-V): Harsh 1-2 shift pattern similar to other GM 10-speeds β€” valve body accumulator wear
  • TR8060 manual (Blackwing): Same synchro wear patterns as TR6060 but adapted for higher torque

Warning Signs β€” When to Bring It In

  • Sudden loss of drive β€” 8L45 pump failure
  • Shudder at cruise β€” TCC
  • Harsh 1-2 (10L80)
  • Whine at idle β€” pump cavitation
  • P0218 overtemp code

Our Repair Process

8L45 pump failure: replacement pump + valve body inspection β€” catches before complete failure if you act on whine or pressure codes. 10L80: valve body kit. TR8060: synchro rebuild.

Fluid Specification

8L45/10L80: Dexron HP

Repair Time Estimate

2–4 days.

Cadillac CT5 FAQ

Common Cadillac CT5 Transmission Questions

Could be the 8L45 pump cavitation β€” an early warning of pump failure. Get it diagnosed immediately; pump failure leads to complete loss of drive.

Same family as the Camaro and Silverado 10-speed. Same valve body wear pattern applies.

2–4 days.

The TR8060 is very strong. Synchro wear is possible with aggressive track use.

Generally yes, but the pump is the weak point β€” whine and pressure codes are the warning. Don't ignore them.
