Any info on this tranny yet?

found this word byte:
the input torque ratings I have seen as rumored for the 6L80E auto tranny is 520ft/lbs....

this could be one sweet-*** swap! I bet the Radix would like an A6 quite-o-bit

Hmmmm. That is very interesting. 6 speed auto sounds cool to me. The allison shows that 5 gears works pretty well.

What's funny is today I typed out a message on the SS forum and typo'd 6L60E when I meant 4L60E. I thought to myself, WTF is a 6L60E?? Then you make this post. Weird...

6 gears might not be the best thing for 1/4 mile racing becasue you have to make that extra shift. I bet that would make around town driving soooo much better though, no more lugging, dropping and screaming.

the 4L85E has been out since 01', no new news there. the 6L80E i haven't heard about yet, but it's likely just a programming change. there are kits out there to make your 4L80E have 6 speed capability...
