The Next Generation of TCI® 6x Six-Speed™ Transmissions Has Arrived – More Durable, More Smoothness


The Next Generation of TCI® 6x Six-Speed™ Transmissions Has Arrived – More Durable, More Smoothness

The TCI 6x six speed automatic was an amazing piece when introduced a short while back and since we know that company does not rest for a minute on their laurels, it only makes sense that they have kept up the development work and brought the newest generation of 6x to the world. The engineers went into the transmission worked on the patented valve body to make the unit even stronger, beefing the torque capacity and they even managed to make the 6x shift smoother. These six speed automatics are capable of hanging on to 850hp and that is a whole lot for any trans let alone one that gives you six forward speeds to take even the most aggressively geared machines and make them happy on the street.

One of the major factors in this newest generation of 6x is the fact that the redesigned valve body allows for overrun clutch application in first, third, and fifth gears. With the overrun clutch locking the planetary gearsets in these gears it means strength that has never been available in these units before. Add in the fact that the 6x is electronically controlled so it can be programmed to suit your individual needs and driving style or it can be shifted manually and you have a piece that will completely change your car’s manners and performance. This is great!

The Next Generation of TCI® 6x Six-Speed™ Transmissions Has Arrived!

 

Ashland, MS – The next generation of the 6x Six-Speed™ Transmission from TCI® features overrun clutch apply to increase the torque capacity of the transmission and the durability of the overdrive roller clutch.

The original TCI® 6x Six-Speed™ Transmission provided six forward gears and fully programmable automatic or manual shifting for improved acceleration and fuel economy at cruising speeds. Now the engineers at TCI® have improved on that model and redesigned the patented 6x valve body, resulting in a transmission that boasts higher torque capacity than ever before. This new design provides overrun clutch apply in first, third and fifth gear. The shifting strategy has also been improved and refined, meaning that each second-generation transmission shifts significantly smoother than the original 6x. TCI® 6x Six-Speed™ Transmissions are capable of handling up to 850 horsepower and are available for all popular GM, Ford and Chrysler applications. A TCI® EZ-TCU™ Transmission Controller is required. TCI®-exclusive 4L80E Bolt-Together Torque Converters are also available to complement and further enhance overall performance.

    Maybe they make good stuff for Chevies.
    All I know is my experience with them with my 727, and it’s not been good.
    Total. Crap. Incorporated.

    My experience with the 2004r 700r4 4l60e and 4l60e and Allison I have had good luck with all of them. So all I am saying is I think a new and improved transmission is a good thing
