2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Becomes Automatic
When Chevrolet launched its Camaro ZL1 1LE, the
only implemented transmission was a 6-speed manual. Now, potential customers
have got a choice between manual or automatic: the 2019 Camaro model will be
equipped with the GM’s 10-speed automatic gearbox.

Taking into account the recent trends in the
field of automotive transmissions, namely the growing popularity of automatic
transmissions, Chevrolet came up with a reasonable solution to add the
automatic option. Chevrolet, like all carmakers, does its best not only to stay
competitive on the market, but also to make as much money as possible,
therefore the automatic transmission turned out to be a great solution.
Chevrolet engineers say that this automatic gearbox is adjusted for enhanced speed
characteristics. Thanks to this transmission, you drivers should not be
professional racers to shift gears like they do.

But engineers could not just replace the
existing manual gearbox with the automatic one. The car itself had to be
adjusted to the new gearbox solution (the Multimatic DSSV spool valve dampers
were adjusted for faster gear shifting). Engineers also added another cooler
and a new oil pan. Except for the gearbox, the 2019 Camaro model is similar to
its predecessor. According to Chevrolet, the testing result of the automatic
Camaro is 1.5 seconds faster, than the manual version, but a specific time
hasn’t been revealed.
You can order the 2019 Chevy Camaro equipped with the automatic gearbox starting late February.
