Dodge Challenger FAQ

Common Dodge Challenger Transmission Questions

Yes — on 2015+ Challengers with the 8HP70, harsh shifts are valve body solenoid wear. Fluid service + diagnostic first.

Different driving experience. The TR6060 is a strong manual — just watch the 1-2 synchro if you drive hard.

Yes — the 8HP90 in the Hellcat is a high-torque ZF variant. We rebuild these.

3–4 days.

Same ZF 8HP family. Charger is FWD-biased, Challenger is RWD — slightly different mounting but same transmission.
