Got a wild idea and figured I'd start a thread for this trans in case anyone wanted to ask a question or volunteer some info about the 6L80E-HD or any variations of the 6L80E's.
I was looking at ordering a truck, but slammed on brakes when I noticed there wasn't a manual trans available(I prefer to be able to control when/if I engine brake)....then I did a bit more reading and noticed the above-mentioned trans has the ability to engine brake assist, and figured Hell, if I can get an adjustable/tuneable standalone for it, then it might work for a previous body style. Thanks to devs, I'm now searching for a crewcab nbs roller to do some swapping around on. I'm looking at the detroit or duramax 6.6L+ hooked to a 6L80E-HD....not gonna flood this post in everything I'm planning to put in it, that's for another thread later on. First off, does anyone happen to know what generation 6L80E's were best or are they still in their first gen....and are they 2pc or single case? etc. what will they bolt up to....all the fun facts.
Hopefully rhino will chime in with some intelligent info like usual.
