Most notable pros of this transmission:
- Excellent gear ratio spread
- Low 1st gear for standing start acceleration, downhill engine braking and off road.
- Excellent torque multiplication from the diesel torque convertor “Will certainly bring the 1HZ alive”.
- Compact 3 dimensional size.
- Zero loss of engine power on manual – automatic conversion +/– 1%.
- Able to withstand high HP and torque ratings
- Very high OEM towing capacity.
- Greatly Improves 0-60Mph times
- Cable controlled T.bar assembly “Requires only very small hole for cable to pass through, so well suited to Armouring”.
- Tip Tronic T.bar assembly for ease of use over a broad range of different driving styles “ in short idiot proof”.
- Overrunning shift design meaning 1st through to 4th gear there are no clutch disengagement never leaving the transmission in a moment of apply/release. 4th – 5th is the only clutch to clutch shift.
- I have attached a dyno sheet below that shows the transmission capabilities"
