6sd auto
 
I was wondering if anyone has used the tci 6sp electronic trans yet. Im looking to install it in a camaro project with with the paddle shifter assembly. they rate them out of the box to take about 800hp. anyone burst one yet? Id like to know how reliable the paddle shifter assembly is because I will not have a console shifter to go with it.

you'll still need a physical shifter to move from park to neutral/reverse/drive etc. The paddle shifter just gives a manual mode with paddles for upshift/downshift, but won't handle the park/reverse/neutral/drive duties.

the rep at sema told me that you can use there key pad deal to move the out of park, reverse ect. Its small enough to hide and still make it accessible. just hope the trans is reliable

ok, then this is different than what I've used and seen. The trans should handle a fair amount of power, I've seen them beat on a ton in the CTSV's.

$6200 after the smoke clears... nasty I know but paddle shifters and six speed kinda turns me on....

Somebody is listening . Less than an hour after I posted that I got a news letter from Kiesler .
Im putting together a C4 and will probably still go with the five speed . The paddle thing reminds me of my nephew s 5 & 7 on there PS2

Isn't this thread about the 6spd re-jiggered 4L80E tci is selling, not a 6L80E like in the gm cars?

i was using it to compare the bowler 4L65E-55097 transmission .... i only asked cause my transmission has not been bought yet but still in the "planning stage" that being said ... i do now know what powerplant torque figures are and i have more options than i thought i would have
