Where this gets tricky is knowing the mathematical order of operations for the different stops. For example, a 1-stop ND will reduce the light by 50% and a 5-stop will cut the light in half five times in a row. If you have a 1-second exposure without a filter and then put on a 1-stop ND filter, you have effectively halved the amount of light coming into your camera. In order to balance out the exposure, you’ll have to increase your shutter speed by doubling it. Now, your 1-second exposure becomes 2 seconds.

As a result of the myriad of premature transmission failures, GM with much pressure decided to extend the warranty on this particular transmission to 10 years and 120,000 miles.  However, most fail just outside of that. The design of this particular transmission was a joint effort between Ford and General Motors. However, we don’t see the wave plate issue with Fords version of this transmission.

When searching for ND filters, we believe that labeling with the number of stops is the easiest way to understand exactly how they will affect your images. Our Kolari Pro ND Filters come in a wide range of strengths from 1-stop to 20-stops, and our Kolari Pro VND is available in 2-5 stops and 6-9 stops options.

Our customer’s line of thinking was right on the money.  He had no symptoms or evidence of a problem, but, replace it before it breaks and save thousands of dollars.  It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when it will happen. With the exception of this wave plate, we found this model of transmission to be very solid and worthy of a preemptive repair. GM and Ford did a great job. However, the machining of the particular part, the wave plate, must have somehow been substandard or the control of the transmission could have somehow been different from the cousin transmission in the Ford version (6F55).

ND filters come in many different strengths. Depending on the manufacturer, these strengths may be notated in one of three ways: stops, optical density, or ND factor. Stops (sometimes referred to as exposure value) are fairly straightforward in that they tell you exactly how many stops your exposure will be adjusted by. Optical density is essentially 0.3 x the exposure value. This is the least common labeling system on the market. The ND factor is often listed as ND2, ND4, ND8, and so on. These numbers refer to the amount by which the light is reduced, ie. ND2 halves the light while ND4 reduces the light to one quarter. The chart below shows the translation between the three labeling systems.

In situations where we have to remove the transmission as a whole, we are then able to verify the health of the rest of the transmission. We can replace the wave plate, address any other worn components in the transmission and provide a warranty for the transmission as a whole. This is the most ideal and still saves a ton of money.

You can see how as the filter strength increases, the exposure time is doubled sequentially to compensate for the loss of light. When the light is cut in half, you need to double the shutter speed to maintain the same exposure. Add another ND stop, double the shutter speed again.

In this case, the vehicle has become symptomatic in 3rd gear, 5th gear or Reverse but the vehicle still drives fairly normal. In this case, that handful of loose change has not quite made it to the blades in the garbage disposal. This certainly needs transmission removal, but will still save money if they don’t wait. We can fix it before your vehicle quits moving and it gets real expensive.

Since ND filters are used to reduce the amount of light in a scene, each stop is always halving the amount of light. The larger the stop number, the more light the filter blocks out.

No two set of circumstance are the same.  We always start with a good diagnosis in order to verify the overall health of the transmission.  If the transmission checks out healthy, sometimes we are able to access and service this wave plate without removal of the transmission. However, this is not practical or recommended in all situations depending on age, mileage, transmission performance and accessibility to the transmission in the car. This transmission is used in many different vehicles with different option packages, certainly effecting access in vehicle.

A wave plate is a mostly flat disc that is used in the stack up in a clutch drum. It’s a cushion (spring) for the transition when the clutch drum is applied/engaged.  It is 1-2 mm in thickness a probably costs all of about $0.50 to manufacturer. However, when the wave plate fails, it becomes like throwing a handful of change down a garbage disposal. Hopefully that paints the picture in leading to the total failure of the transmission and your vehicle no longer moving.

In this particular transmission, known as the Hydro-Matic 6T70 and/or  6T75 the particular drum is the 4,5,6 drum.  It specifically affects 3rd, 5th and reverse.

Our customer found information about the inherent failure of the wave plate in a particular clutch drum in his transmission. A problem we are well aware of. The failure of this particular wave plate results in the total failure of the transmission. However, in this instance our customer wanted to see if he could have the wave plate replaced before it broke, saving him thousands of dollars down the road, as well as a tow bill. We were more than happy to go along with his train of thought.  We are always interested in legitimate methods to saving our customers money.
