COMMODORE Executive is available with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. With the latter, the shift pattern was modified with the VX series upgrade for improved driveability and responsiveness to throttle changes, while in the recent VXII update the shift points for V8 models fitted with an automatic transmission were altered to better match the engine's torque curve. The final drive ratio on both manual and automatic transmissions mated to the standard ECOTEC V6 engine is 3.08.
