Long story short, I bought a 2005 Pete 335 roll off truck. Has a 300hp cat with a 8LL transmission. I never drove a manual transmission in a car or truck before. Only bikes and quads. The truck was delivered Monday and today was the first time driving it. Luckily park in a big complex. 8ll The Fuller 8LL transmissions provide drivers with the versatility they need for a mix of on- and off-highway applications. These transmissions offer eight road speed gears and two additional deep reduction ratios in low and reverse. 8ll The Fuller 8LL transmissions provide drivers with the versatility they need for a mix of on- and off-highway applications.

The 8L90 is an eight-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors Company. It is designed for use in longitudinal engine applications either attached to the front-located engine[1] with a standard bell housing or in the rear of the car adjacent to the differential (as in the Corvette). It is a hydraulic (hydramatic) design. GM also produces a similar design with the smaller 8L45.
The 8L90 is the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed in December 2018 that alleges the transmission suffers from persistent 'shudder' issues and that GM has known about the problems since its introduction and has failed to provide a solution, instead choosing to wait until the unit is out of warranty.[2]
