300mm Performance Converter Kit
Part No.GM-RK-16

View Instructions

The GM 6L80 transmission in '10-later Camaros and many GM trucks uses a 300mm converter. The large diameter and weight of this "JBMX" converter rob the drivetrain of acceleration power and throttle response. The Sonnax 300mm performance converter kit GM-RK-16 adapts a GM 245mm core for use in GM 6L80-E (300mm) applications, allowing converter builders to assemble high performance GM 6L80 converters with a variety of stall speed options. The diameter of the finished converter using the GM-RK-16 is 1.600" (40mm) smaller, which improves acceleration.

The robust Sonnax forged cover has additional material on the flexplate mounting pads and rim to reduce cover flexing and ballooning during hard acceleration. This cover also incorporates universal features: three different flexplate bolt hole patterns and a weld-on pilot for use with other GM applications.

The GM-RK-16 kit utilizes the OE GM 258mm damper assembly to isolate engine and road vibration and to protect the transmission parts downstream. Many other aftermarket performance converter kits offer pistons without dampers, which will compromise ride quality for street use and severely reduce the transmission and converter life. Two damper assembly options are available with this performance converter kit: forged pistonGM-DA-6Passembled with a used GM 258mm damper assembly, or a salvaged OE 258mm converter piston/damper.

The GM-RK-16 performance converter kit is designed to fit either Sonnax stator [GMST-082] orGM-ST-086, along with a sprag cartridgeGM-CS-5that fits the GM 6L80 stator shaft spline. Instructions to cut and weld the 245mm turbine to accept the turbine hub are included in the kit.
