Chevy Equinox Transmissions/Transaxles for Sale
Chevrolet introduced the Equinox as a Mid-Sized crossover SUV based on GM’s Theta platform. The first crossover attempt by Chevrolet. Not designed for heavy four wheeling like a truck, recreational use at the most. All variants of the Chevy Equinox Transmissions are for sale, including the AF33 automatic overdrive.
Side Note: Theta is General Motors’ compact and mid-size crossover SUV automobile platform. The Theta uses a four wheel independent suspension.
The Equinox is a front wheel drive vehicle with a four wheel drive option. Using a transverse mounted engine and transmission assembly, it runs east to west, or sideways under the hood of your car. In some cases we refer to these transmissions as a transaxle, since the transmission and differential are all in one case. This setup does not use a drive-shaft, instead it makes use of short axles, one on the left front, and one on the right front. These axles drive the front wheels, making it a front wheel drive car.
From 2004 to 2009 Chevrolet made the first generation Equinox. It used a 5 speed automatic transmission [AF33] with the 3.4 liter engine, and a 6 speed General Motors automatic overdrive transmission [6T70] with the 3.6 liter motor.
The AF-33 is a 5 forward speed automatic transaxle with a lock up torque converter. The AF33 was designed by AW [Aisn Warner] specifically for GM products. The model codes are AW55-50SN [front wheel drive], and AW55-51SN for all wheel drive.
The 6T70 is actually a joint venture between Ford and General Motors to create a new transaxle designed for transverse mounted assemblies. This transmission is a story by itself. Later I will write a blog on this transmission.
The second generation Chevy Equinox came out in 2009 and is still in production. The only transmission used was the 6 speed 6T70 transaxle assembly.
Finally, AMP electrics makes an all electric Theta SUV, and I have no information on which transmission it uses. The staff at GotEngines.com will know.
