TCI 6x automatic 6 speed transmission

I saw this in the M&FF Magazine. There is a transmission by TCI for mustangs with automatic transmissions. its a 6 speed tranny, with 2.97, 2.23, 1.57, 1.18, 1.00, 0.75 forward gears. It is called the TCI 6x.

Its capable of handling up to 850hp. and supports full manual mode with paddle or bump shifters. the website is TCI Auto - Performance Transmissions, Converters & Drivetrain Parts.


Now I know people that are into manual shifting a stick, are not fans of sport manual or paddle shifters, but I do LOVE a paddle shifter. I mean real ones like on exotic sports cars.

so tell me.... is this a REAL manual shifting automatic. like could I go from 4 to 2 or skip 1 and go strait to 2nd or something? I know on automatic transmissions with bump shifters, you can only go up or down one gear at a time and you can not exceed a gear that the computer refuses to let you engage. Is this the case with the TCI 6x?

next up is the price, its like $7,000 with your choice of shifter, and bellhousing, and the wiring/computers etc... Is this a good deal?

Seriously I want to jump on this sooooooooo bad. having a 6speed auto that can handles everything you can throw at it. I wish I had the money.

Also..... the paddle shifters alone are $560 bucks, Works with any automatic 4, 5 or 6-speed transmission controlled by the revolutionary TCI® Transmission Control Unit. Does that mean it can work on the stock automatic transmissions? and just goes from 2, 1, d, and overdrive? OR does it mean it requires any aftermarket 4, 5, 6 speed tranny?




So what are your guys opinion on this?

Are you really after the paddle shifters? Are you trying to find out what is involved with adapting a set of padel shifters to a stock transmission?
Or are you trying to find out if the TCI 6x will work with a stock PCM?

well actually both..... If its real paddle shifters from an F1 car with this transmission that I would be all over this. even a bump shifter would make me quite happy. Actually anything to make me feel like i have more control over my car would be a god send.

but if the paddle shifters alone could be adapted to the stock transmission, I dont really understand how it would work, even with the external computer.
i mean no matter how you look at it, even with an external computer. the transmisson is only physically capable of shifting from 2 1 d and over drive. which is kind of retarded. So i was wondering if i was missing something.


in any case, now i know its not true style f1 shifting, im depressed
