LuK TC0017 TorCon Torque Converter: A Guide for GM 6L80 Owners
If your repair shop has recommended replacing the torque converter in your GM truck, van, or SUV, choosing the correct part is the next step.
The LuK TC0017 TorCon is an all-new torque converter for selected GM 5.3L vehicles equipped with a compatible 6L80 automatic transmission. It features a redesigned multi-plate clutch and requires no core return.
This guide explains what makes it different and what you should check before ordering.
What Is the LuK TC0017 TorCon?
The TC0017 is a replacement automatic transmission torque converter manufactured by LuK, Schaeffler’s clutch and transmission component brand.
A torque converter connects the engine’s output to the automatic transmission. Selecting the correct replacement requires matching the vehicle and transmission application—not simply choosing a converter with a similar appearance.

A New Converter with an Updated Design
The LuK TC0017 uses all-new components rather than a rebuilt converter assembly. Its redesigned multi-plate clutch is a key feature of this replacement solution.
Each converter is functionally tested and precision-balanced. For owners planning a transmission repair, these features make the TC0017 an option worth discussing with their installer.
Which Vehicles Should You Check?
The published application covers selected 2007–2020 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs with a 5.3L engine and compatible 6L80 transmission.
| Application | Model Years | Engine | Transmission Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selected GM trucks, vans, and SUVs | 2007–2020 | 5.3L | Compatible 6L80 automatic transmission |
This is an application overview, not a guarantee that every vehicle in those years is compatible.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Your vehicle’s VIN.
- Engine and model year.
- Transmission identification.
- Original converter part number.
- Whether TC0017 is the correct replacement for your repair.
The OE reference 24247371 can help with comparison, but your installer should verify the complete application.
Does TC0017 Fit a 6L90 Transmission?
Do not assume that it does simply because an online listing mentions both 6L80 and 6L90.
The application used in this guide is the confirmed GM 6L80 5.3L coverage. A 6L90 application requires a separate compatibility check before purchasing.
What Does “No Core Charge” Mean?
Some replacement converters require a refundable deposit and the return of your old converter.
The LuK TC0017 has no core charge. You do not need to return your old converter as a core, making the purchase simpler and removing the need to arrange a core shipment.
Diagnose the Transmission Before Buying
A driving symptom alone does not establish which component needs replacement. Ask a qualified technician to inspect the transmission and confirm the repair before ordering a converter.
Your installer should also determine whether additional parts or service work are needed. Replacing the converter should be part of a repair plan based on the vehicle’s condition.
