6R80 in my 05

[crownaviation]

Well, this is the s197forum industry. Where do we get one? Not that I need to spend any more damn money right now

Just to add some info. I talked to Kevin at USshift (Optishift or Bauman) this week. He said their unit is still another year away, but they are currently working on it.
Thanks Mike

Is there any update on this?

I've always wondered when this swap was going to come to fruition. That would be an awesome thing indeed.

Its a year later, maybe we should call them...

Still working on it..

Heard PA was working on it also.

PA is getting close, but I do not think it will be out and released to the public before race season is over. Hopefully I am wrong.

so u saying I need to wait and do this instead of a 4r swap?

 

[Fordbanger]

hmmm...... i guess we will hold off on buying a new trans as well. would be awesome to put a 6r80 behind the 5.4l. ima check the current prices on them now might go and pick one up before everyone gets all swap happy.

 

[Sinner]

Any new news on this?

 

[weather man]

Baumann is in testing with the new controller they just released.

 

[Sinner]

Awesome!!!!!

 

[Wild White Pony]

If this works and cost effective I'm in. Hopefully costs a lot less vs the FB 4R70W swap package.

This is exciting as a possible option, for those in the know, what's the approx cost of this swap?

I would guess roughly around $4-5,000 for parts and controller. Depends if you upgrade the tranny some, and most would I bet. More if you go all new.

 

[Sinner]

Is there a manual valve body available for this trans?
