722.9 Gearbox
722.9 Gearbox
Honestly it just is not worth the effort. If you want more gears than the 722.6 just go with a another manufacturer transmission that is easier to control. There are 6 speeds and actually bang for the buck and power handling is a 6 speed 4l80e. Tons of aftermarket support and parts and easy to control.

The solenoid control is not that complicated but it is a clutch to clutch transmission and you cannot simply turn them on and off and you have to gut the tcm out of the conductor plate and get wiring into the transmission that will not leak or wick fluid up the harness.

4L80E's are big time power hogs i thought?
Also i had seen (BBT?) using a .9 in their w201 project with the wet clutch set up. Maybe im wrong?
I don't see why you would need/want a .9 over a .6 anyways..

10-16-2015, 07:57 PM #6The extra gears really provide a much closer ratio transmission and allow you to run a more highway friendly diff than the .6 does. Yes BBT did this with a PCS control unit but you cannot control it properly. I think for a race app and not wanting shift quality or reliability you could make it work. The tcm-2000 only has a 6 speed setup max and there wiring solution was not something I would retail ever. The correct answer is to break the factory tcu immo and then use a tcm-2600 to emulate the factory CAN messages. We do this with the 6l80e and the 6r80. And ZF transmissions and a few more. But there simply is not enough demand to justify the expense and time for the 722.9.
4l80?
