Well it's official: The first 6/8 speed manumatics for Hot Rods are now available. Consists of a 4 speed electronic automatic (4L60E or 4L80E), a GV unit, Bowler electronics and valve body and our paddle shifter. Mark's electronics allow you to actuate both gear changes and gear splits from our paddle shifter--so you don't need to reach down to do the gear splits. Your hands never leave the steering wheel.
With the gear selector in D (3rd gear) you have a 6 speed with engine braking. And with the selector in OD (4th), you have an 8 speed w/o engine braking. As you can imagine, the 6/8 is not cheap. Do the math: Trans, GV. Computer, Paddle Shifter, etc.....
Expect our SEMA 2007 show car to be equipped with the 6/8 Manumatic behind a twin turbo LS1.________________
