Hey Bob.

Have you driven the 6 Speed Allison Auto in one of these? And if so how smooth is it over the Meritor?

I have driven the Eaton 10 speed Autoshift and it was not much smoother than me shifting my manual 10 speed (although it was much easier as far as not having to move the lever) The tranny just seemed pretty jerky, not a big deal for the driver, but for passengers who get car sick easy, it would be.

Just curious

Bill
