We also have pie. Some of us prefer pie over cake... Weirdos!
pie is good, I’ve been smoking pies on the treager, can’t go wrong. Not trying to hijack Eric but I wonder how much of my van floor I’d have to cut out to fit a zf6?
Aha! Sorry I was thinking of 4-5 on the Allison. So yes, top gear gives you a better OD but the awful 1.0 to .71 jump is still the same. I really need a 0.85. The 6speed would help if lowering the rear gear to compensate but then you lose the higher OD.
I’ll just continue to gripe about my 4R100 gearing indefinitely. Sorry guys.
SAME, I just want a 6r140 us shift controller to come out
Just swap it and join the ZF6 crowd.
We have cake!
You have the same top 2 ratios as the 4R100.
Besides, I prefer brownies or ice cream.

Pie is definitely better than cake.
The chart says it all. I’m with Heavyhauler, the 6R100 looks great.

The magic is in the TC. We don’t need a super low 1st gear. We have TC slip allowing the rpm to get up along with torque multiplication due to the stator redirecting flow.
