TCI 6 speed auto

[Mr.Cheeto]

Disregarding the price has anyone attempted to mounta 4L80E 6 speed auto from TCI onto one of our engines?

The idea of paddle shifters and 6 gears in a sc sounds like a blast.

The 4L80E/4L85E is a 4 speed auto.

4 = 4 Speeds
L = Longitude
80 = Torque Class
E = Electronic Controls (M = Manual, but very rare only done in 1991 or so)

There is a 6L90E, but I expect it to be very very expensive. Then there is the Allison A1000 5/6 speed, but that is so big it would never fit in much save a big pickup.

Thats sorta what ford did on the A4LD to make the 5R55. They are just engaging od in gears. So the shift pattern is really:

1
1od
2
2od
3
3od

Voila, a close ratio 6 speed....for almost nothing hardwarewise, just a trans controller....

Do that to the a650 and have a 8 speed.....
