6L85E Specs, Info, How it Works

[nighthawk]

Talked to FLT yesterday asked if they were working on 6 speed auto technology... The sales rep told me that the controller for these transmissions is integrated into the trans making it ALMOST impossible to retrofit into older vehicles.

yes, but if you use a Gen IV engine and controller you can do the swap pretty easily. it has been done in a GMT800 by speartech.

i have the 258mm tq converter and i want a new one 3200-3600 as prepreation for a cam swap and didnt find any stalls for the trucks

[cjriojas]

not a whole lot of aftermarket for these transmissions. they are still pretty new

I Was Running This Trans On My Truck When I Did The Swap, I Can Honestly Say That Is Sucks Balls. Stick With The 4l80 U Cant Go Wrong, Or Just Use Th350..

Why did it suck balls? Sounds like this transmission is what makes the newer trucks what they are.

Any updates on swapping this transmission into an older vehicle? It's been out for a couple years now and I can't see it being impossible.
