does anyone or has anyone driven a car with TCI's new 6 speed automatic i am pondering it for my dads 64 chevelle he just got please help
In all reality...whats the point of having a 6spd? A 3-spd Auto is proven to work fine, cheap to buy parts and rebuild. An OD Auto is pretty much the same as a 3-spd with an extra gear. A six speed is for people with lots of money, and high-end cars with high horsepower. A ring & pinion would set you back a couple hundred bucks and take about the same amount of time to do a transmission swap, if not less time. Save the money and put it into something the car NEEDS. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, send it to me, I can put it to better use than a 6spd trans. Besides...real hot rods have 3 pedals.
I understand it's a 4L80E with the ability to engage OD in the lower gears. You get about the same overall ratio spread as a stock 4L80E but you can split shift the gears like having a gear Vendors OD on a T400. Would be great for towing, no use on a street car as far as I see. They are making a special planetary gearset for it so 1st may be lower than stock, don't know the details yet.
