Has anyone here swaped out a g56 for a new ATS or any other bombproof auto tranny? What are the implications. I heard that going from manual to auto is not that big of deal, but going from auto to manual is drama. Is this true?

Some company makes conversions to put an Allison where the 48re is I think.

Suncoast is working on a kit but you're looking at $8-10K for it. But it is a fully built allison.

Well hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in, but I think there could be an ECM issue since it is involved in the shifting and TC lockup of the 48re.
