with all the larger trucks and diesel trucks coming with 6 speed automatics as an option cuz of all the laws takin place in the near future about gas mileage do yall think we will see 6 speed automatics in the new camaro??? or vette sometime soon??? i hope so that would be bad *** and maybe have a manual mode with paddle shifts on the steering wheel???

I think I have seen an automatic 6 spd. somewhere for an LS1/LT1. Don't really remember.. Supposed to be pretty good for gas mileage and also down at the tracks.

yall seen that car with the 8 speed auto lol

Gilbert@Ace Racing

The transmission you guys are thinking of is a 6L80E. It is a 6 speed automatic. The 'Vette does utilize paddle controls.

Here is a link to a GM Engineering PR document.

hmmmm do they have any for the ls1 , and mike the car your talking about is that lexus i forgot wich one tho.

Gilbert@Ace Racing

There is an inherant problem with converting the 6l80E to other than intended applications. It has an integral transmission controller. It needs inputs from the PCM, point is there arent any companies working on this right now that I know of.

It is it's own animal. It'll be a while down the road before the aftermarket get's a grip on it.

But, did you see the numbers that thing can take! It's a hoss!

im prety sure i read somewhere even the 6cyl camaros will have a 6 speed auto. wouldnt be too shabby if they put a sportier i6 from the trailblazer in it

I don't see why they wouldn't put a 6 speed auto in it. They've already spent the money in engineering.

430ftlb is decent, but what im lovin is that 1st gear. that thing must launch like a beast. isn't the 4L60E only like a 3.1 first?

Yep. The VW has put a 6 speed auto in all the MKV Jetta's and the new Rabbit.
along with a 5 speed stick.

3.06 which doesn't matter when they throw in so much torque management to begin with. I'll take a better converter and a 1.8 ratio any day of the week
