6 speed auto...thoughts?

Post by mrtleavitt »

Anyone have experience with this? It sounds cool. I find plenty of write ups on it and videos of TCI reps talking about how cool it is but I cannot find any videos of the transmission in action except for a 2002 Camaro on a dyno: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMbGV6nYrMc
I'd like to try it out but I'm very hesitant because I've never heard of it or seen it in action. It's dang pricey but if it was a solid tranny I'd probably go for it. Any info or opinions would be appreciated.

If TCI has anything to do with it rest assured it's complete crap. I used one of TCI's 4L80E's and their controller once. The controller was an overpriced joke, their customer service is the same.
