I've been on here awhile and constantly here about how bad are transmissions are at being efficient. I remember reading on another post that the 5 speeds in the dodge rams lose about 30% and where as a nissan titans transmission loses only 12-15%. So I was wondering would it be better to get another manufactures transmission and bolt it up with a custom adapter(yes pricey). Or is there anyway where we could make our transmissions just as good as say a titans. Would adding a shift kit,performance valve body,torque converter,and torque reduction mod get us to the same level or would we need to do more?
No you wouldn't be able to bolt a diff manufacturers transmission because of the ecu functions and adaptability. Your better off just slapping a Procharger on and call it a day. You'll save more money and have way more power! That's my next move.
