Ford may be planning on using a real-time engine-torque sensor in the new transmissions. This would make the 8-10 speed Auto's much smarter than the current automatic's. This article describes the 8 speed coming out.
Take a look at resale value of Super duties with the 6.0 and 6.4 diesels, you cant give them away, they are ****, many years older models with 7.3s going for much more usually.

Everything comes down to money at the end of the day, so it's gotta be that, for everything. If not, I have no idea what all of them are up to!
That's an extremely interesting article, MeanGene. I'm excited to see what that thing and the little one liter are going to do. That 3 cylinder uses a timing belt too! Just goes to show that the old tech can be improved and used to be very advanced.

A big thing with the 8 and 10 speed trannys is the fact that 3 or gears will be overdrive, being as 2 gears are overdrive on a 6 speed. Why are these trannys not direct or still only 1 overdrive gear like the 4 speeds and a numerically lower rear end ratio like 3.08 or 2.79. direct drive is still the most efficient drive system, the power goes in and outbecause the input shaft is directly coupled to the output shaft and no transfer of power to another shaft resulting in a loss of efficiency.
