Heard Dodge came out with an 8 speed transmisison

[SSMAN]

I saw a Dodge commerial for the charger with an 8 speed tranny and 31 mpg. I wonder what all they will put that in? Never like that the trucks only had 5 speeds, but damn and 8 speed?

Still a dodge.

my parents bmw has an 8 speed, it shifts pretty quick through the gears.

Transmissions and razors...it's all a numbers game.

Lexus has had it for about 5 years now. Hyundai is trying to run a 10 speed soon.

no kidding. I'd hate to know what it costs to rebuild an 8 speed transmission.

had a rental 2011 charger for 30 days during that 30 days

Check engine light came on and disappeared twice
radio would stop and restart
lcd screen came to be touched by a ghost
smart start key requires charging message 5 times
alarm locked me out once as well

worst pos ever.

Sounds like a Dodge/Chrysler product to me.

they are using the bmw transmission from what i heard.

I figured if they put it in the trucks and challengers, they would probably run a little better. I have never owned a Dodge, probably never will. But I do like the looks of their trucks and the over priced Challenger.

I like the shit out of my 6 speed tranny in the Jap truck. Plus I test drove a 5.3 Chevy with one and it really woke that under hp turd up.

I think it makes the ride allot smoother...

[Snatch Napkin]

I'm pretty sure they put it in the 300.

Multiple transmission gears are generally only beneficial to vehicles with a narrow torque range. Are the new Chrysler engines weaker with regard to torque?

Still a dodge.

And still the only way to get a Cummins in a 1 ton or smaller truck.

It's only in the V6 Charger.

Barry....I think it's time to buy a new truck. You pose a lot of questions about trucks and things of that nature.

Go get you an Eco boost and be done with it. It will be quicker that your gap truck. Lol
