What Transmission Do I Have? Find the Right Monster Transmission in Minutes

One of the most common questions we hear at Monster Transmission is simple—but critical: “What transmission do I have, and which Monster transmission do I actually need?”

With dozens of transmission variants, mid-year changes, engine-specific differences, and performance levels, choosing the wrong unit can cost time, money, and reliability. That’s exactly why we built the Monster Transmission Product Quiz .

Why Finding the Correct Transmission Matters

Modern automatic transmissions are not “one-size-fits-all.” The same truck may use multiple transmissions depending on:

• Year range and mid-cycle updates
• Engine (V6 vs V8 vs diesel)
• 2WD vs 4WD configuration
• Towing, performance, or daily-driver use
• Electronics, valve body, and solenoid variations

For example, a Chevy Silverado might use a 4L60E, 4L65E, 6L80E, 6L90E, or 10L80 depending on year and engine. Dodge Ram trucks may run a 48RE, 68RFE, or Aisin. Ford trucks commonly use the 6R80, 10R80, or 6R140.

Ordering the wrong transmission—even if it “looks right”—can mean incorrect electronics, torque converter mismatch, or fitment problems. The Monster Quiz eliminates that risk.

Introducing the Monster Transmission Product Quiz

The Monster Transmission Quiz is designed to do what a phone call or guessing can’t: accurately match your vehicle to the correct Monster transmission build in under two minutes.

Instead of browsing dozens of product pages, the quiz asks a few targeted questions:

• Vehicle year, make, and model
• Engine size and fuel type
• 2WD or 4WD
• Stock replacement vs towing vs performance
• Current symptoms (slipping, shudder, overheating, no reverse, etc.)

Based on your answers, the quiz delivers a clear recommendation—no confusion, no mismatched parts.

Top Transmissions the Quiz Helps Identify

Chevy & GMC Transmissions

• 4L60E / 4L65E — Found in older Silverados, Tahoes, Suburbans, and performance LS swaps. The quiz helps determine whether you need a StreetMonster, SportMonster, or TrackMonster build.
• 6L80E / 6L90E — One of the most commonly misidentified transmissions. The quiz accounts for year splits, engine differences, and electronics.
• 10L80 — Used in newer GM trucks and performance cars, requiring precise matching of electronics and torque converter strategy.

Dodge / Ram Transmissions

• 48RE — Common in older Cummins trucks, requiring correct band adjustments and converter matching.
• 68RFE — A frequent source of overheating and torque converter failures. The quiz helps match you to the correct StreetMonster or SportMonster build.
• Aisin AS69RC — Heavy-duty applications that demand the correct internals and calibration.

Ford Transmissions

• 6R80 — Common in F-150s and Mustangs, with multiple valve body and converter variations.
• 10R80 — Advanced 10-speed requiring correct solenoid strategy programming.
• 6R140 — Super Duty diesel applications where strength and cooling are critical.

Matching Performance Levels the Right Way

Another major advantage of the Monster Quiz is that it doesn’t just identify the transmission—it helps choose the correct performance tier.

• RoadReady / StockMonster — OE-style replacement for daily drivers
• StreetMonster — Towing, mild tuning, larger tires
• SportMonster — Heavy towing, aggressive tuning, performance builds
• TrackMonster — High horsepower, racing, and extreme use

Many transmission failures happen not because the unit was bad—but because it wasn’t built for how the vehicle was being used. The quiz prevents that mismatch.

Why Monster Uses a Quiz (Instead of Guessing)

Local rebuild shops often rely on guesswork, reused electronics, and “close enough” parts. Monster takes a different approach.

• Vehicle-specific matching
• Upgraded internals for known weak points
• Matched torque converters (not reused stock units)
• Dyno-tested remanufactured transmissions
• Multi-year warranty with Extend coverage

The quiz is simply the fastest way to get you into the right transmission—without back-and-forth calls, misorders, or downtime.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the correct transmission is about more than bolting something in that “fits.” It’s about reliability, longevity, performance, and peace of mind.

The Monster Transmission Product Quiz was built from decades of real-world experience, thousands of failed units, and even more successful builds. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out transmission or upgrading for towing or performance, the quiz ensures you get it right the first time.
