How can we bolt a 68re to our 5.9's

anyone out there think maybe someone will make a aftermarket adapter?

 

I think the computer controls will make it darn near impossible.

 

good thought ptgarcia. i bet this topic will be a very popular one very soon

 

6 speed auto, i dreamed of this...

someone who is really smart needs to do it

 

Please make this happen the best combo out there would be a 5.9 with a 6spd auto!!! I think no one will really be able to know until the 6.7 has been out for a while and guys can really get a good look at the new auto. I would much rather get a new auto and build it up instead of throwing money at the 48re... I hope someone can make it work!

 

exactly how i feel, i will not ebaborate because im sure all the trans guys will jump in here and cry about what i'd say..

6 speed auto > modified 4 speed

 

It can be done.... anything can be done, you just need a good machinist, and a trans controller.

 

I thought the block was not changing, thuse the bellhousing should be the same no?

 

Yeah, the 07's still come with the g56's. The bell housings should be the same.

 

well theres one problem gone, now we need an electrical engineer to do some hardcore wiring and programming

 

Man ive been thinking of this ever since i heard about the 6sp auto.

 

lets get it done!

 

There is a guy over on the TDR site that has installed/is installing an Allison 1000 5 speed tranny in his CTD. I am working on the same, but I am using a six speed Allison 1000 out of a wrecked '06 GMC. I haven't subscribed to the TDR, so I can't read all of his posts to see if it worked. As soon as I get back stateside though, I will subscribe and see what kind of hurdles he had to clear.

 

All the tranny builders out there should just stop building the 4spds and sell the new 6. I mean why not? A 5 star ATS, DTT or whatever would be SO much better! Is it because they need a doner?

 

im sure once the 6 speed comes out those tranny guys will be sweating.. IMO..
