Ford transmission goes to eleven

[EyeMWing]

For that matter, it may end up being specific to something like the diesel trucks, where the narrow powerband but enormous power output could certainly benefit from more gears.

What? You mean the ideal transmission for a diesel truck isn't a 3-speed from a malaise era fullsize passenger car with an electric valve body conversion? Somebody had better tell Dodge.

To be fair, GM used the TH400 behind the 6.2/6.5 for forever and the Ford 6.9 got saddled with the C6.

Even the ZF 9-gear isn't exactly a good transmission.
