As fuel economy became more important, the C4 was replaced in 1982 by the
C5, which was essentially a C4 with a lock-up clutch in the torque converter to improve highway fuel economy. It bore the casting numbers E2, E3, E4, E5, and E6, corresponding with the year it was produced. The C5 was phased out in 1986, replaced by the
AOD. The production plant in
Sharonville, Ohio was converted to production of the
C6 transmission which was relocated from
Livonia, Michigan, as the Livonia facility was converted to the
AOD. Applications: • 1986
