2004–2012: 4-speed automatic (4L60-E) on V8 models; Aisin on 5-cyl. 2015–2022: 6-speed automatic (6L50) on 2.5L I4 and 3.6L V6. 2015–2022: 8-speed automatic (8L45) on Denali and AT4 3.6L V6. 2023–2024: 8-speed automatic (8L45) on all Canyon variants. 4WD: Autotrac transfer case.
Canyon is mechanically identical to Colorado — same transmissions, same failure patterns. The 6L50 solenoid repair is often done without a full rebuild. Off-road use (AT4, Elevation) accelerates fluid degradation.
6L50 uses Dexron VI. 8L45 uses Dexron HP. 4L60-E uses Dexron VI.
6L50 solenoid: 1–2 days. 6L50 rebuild: 2–3 days. 8L45 rebuild: 3–4 days.
"Honest diagnosis, fair price, and the repair was done right. Chicago Transmission has been my go-to for years. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my car."
"The free diagnostic alone was worth the trip. They found the problem fast, gave me a written estimate, and completed the work on time. Exceptional service."
"Family owned and it shows. They treated my car like it was their own. The lifetime warranty on my rebuild gives me total peace of mind. Highly recommend."
Identical — Canyon and Colorado share the same transmissions. Same repair, same pricing.
8L45 TCC shudder is common on AT4 3.6L. Start with Dexron HP flush. Torque converter replacement if it persists.
Every 30,000 miles for off-road/tow use.
4L60-E sun shell failure. Full rebuild required: $1,500–2,100.
