6 spd trans

[turq]

Can you swap one in? Would it be beneficial?

 

[MRS.Z-56_Hoe]

yes it can be done you will more then likely need a stand alone controller like a compushift thats what michael has for his 4l80

Doesn't ATS make a six speed stand alone kit?

 

[turq]

Anyone have any idea what the cost would be? My friend has a newer Sierra and he is getting a few more mpgs. I assume that is from te TRANS?

 

[MRS.Z-56_Hoe]

not worth the cost to modify for fuel economy

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

My wife is right. Only if your beefing it up. Like a 6L80

There is a lot that is going on to gain those couple of MPG's in. The newer GM vehicles (depending on what you have you may or may not have active fuel mgt) where the new ones do. As far as the 6 speed goes they are normailly coupled with 3.42 or 3.08 gears. All of this together adds to the better fuel eco.

Cheaper to trade up to a newer one with a 6 speed.

really not. anything can be done with enough money but the cost is extravagant. if it was a toy built for speed maybe you could invest in it. alot of its gonna be custom fabrication. harnesses, mounts, crossovers. its definitely not something i would attempt unless your highly mechanically inclined and have time to make the appropriate parts. 4l80 is a totally different swap and doesn't require as much fabrication as the 6 speed conversion

Wouldn't the 6-speed be beneficial for towing, especially in mountain ranges when using the right gear can make a big difference?
