Applications include 2013-14 Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, 2013-14 Chevrolet Malibu, 2014 Chevrolet Impala and 2014 Buick Regal 2.0L, 2.5L engines.

  • 6716 Shift Rail Seal Installer: The shift rail seal installer inserts the shift seal on the Tremec TR 3160 manual transmission to the proper depth to ensure optimal seal life. The installer includes a removable pilot, allowing for use on-vehicle in addition to during unit repair, with the shift shaft in place or removed. The tool is similar to the DT-51077. Works on 2013 and later Cadillac ATS manual transmission, 2016 and later Chevrolet Camaro and 2016 and later Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.

  • 6702 Transmission Adapter Plate Bushing Replacer: This tool is used to replace the mount bushing on the transmission adapter plate. The adapter has a window for verifying the bushing position during installation and is also deep enough for bushing removal. The tool is similar to the DT-50839 and CH-50342. It is applicable on 2013 and later Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore.

  • 1870 Universal Transmission Adapter: The universal transmission adapter has independently adjustable and indexing arms that can adapt to nearly any transmission shape.
