ZF ecomods a transmission: 8 spd auto, EOC-able, multiple input options, fewer parts
Found this Car & Driver article interesting:
http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezfl...ith_border.jpg It's an interesting modular approach to making one transmission case that can be customized with multiple options, including input from (A) a "regular" torque converter, (B) an electric motor (for hybrid applications) or (C) a multiple clutch pack for increased efficiency & shifting speed (better acceleration).

With the clutch pack or electric motor: A fine idea.
With the torque converter: Overpriced trash. Torque converters are the tool of OPEC. |
Since the torque converter locks at 1200 RPM, it may not be that bad. :shrug:
