Not really, Its a 4L80E with extra gears added, and paddle shifting is an option. I saw it last year at PRI.

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

it would be nice if along with it came a supercharger or something to make it worth 6k! but its an awesome trans with the ratio spread!

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

It's too bad that 1st and 4th O/D ratios are the same as the stock 4L80 trans.
If they had expanded the range, now THAT would be something!

its big, so getting it to fit might be interesting. plus controlling it would require two computers if you want to retain factory gauges according to jared.

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

I talked to few guys that have used the 80E in Dimes and they said it fit no problem..but the controller is apparently the issue

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

I think I looked this up a couple months ago and came across a board that said there were problems with this trans. I don't see how seeing TCI is building them. I'd love to have a paddle shift car

hmm, i thought they (and the vettes, new camaros, etc) had the 80e with the 90e going in some full size trucks. after reading your comment and reading a bit online im not sure now...

here is the thread i was referring to with the size of the trans:

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

i saw a lot of that too, but when i would search for the 6l60e, there was a lot of info on new camaros, the G8, etc...even some fullsize trucks. i tried finding a link those GM sites that talk about the powertrain components but didnt find anything.

Re: TCI 6x 6Speed AutoTrans

I know that this is a LSA motor and not a L76 but it has a 6spd Auto attched to it.... The casing does look like a beast...
