Hey guys just reviewing my order from the dealer while patiently (the best I can) waiting for it to (hopefully) come to fruition. After looking at it all what all options were available or standard equipment for the hellcat? I know the manuals were the Tremec 6 speed 60 66 or some model number like that but after looking at the autos there’s an 8hp50,70, and 90. Does anyone know what was standard in what? I know the red eyes come with the 8hp90 as it’s the most robust they offer but what about the regular hellcats or even the Widebody’s? All this I’ve been looking at is for challengers but maybe chargers correlate too?

  • The M6 is the Tremec TR6060. There is a different version in the HC vs the other V8s. Different spline count (I think), plus the one in the HC has an external cooler.
  • The A8 for all HC including RE is the 8HP90, I'm not aware of any differences.
  • The 8HP70 is in the other hemis
  • The 8HP50 is in the V6
  • The 850RE is in the V6 with AWD.

How about a clutch-automatic?
For the truly adventurous, it adds a clutch pedal and clutch to the automatic transmission instea of a torque converter. How's that for "not just manual versus automatic?"
It was done more back in the day, though it was still rare. It gives you, basically, a Lenco but with better-mileage-oriented final gear ratios.
