ultrashift reviews

Xy shifter is about $600, you can change it yourself. it does have its own computer. The first thing I did was get under and unplug every connector, put in some dielectric grease, then plugged em all back up. Knock on wood I've never had any issues with that in 3 yrs I've had the truck. The rest of the transmission is the same as a regular 10 speed, no more expensive than those to work on. I did have to put a new clutch in recently, that was about $300 more than a regular clutch because it's made different. They are just as reliable as any other. Most of what you hear is people spewing off BS that they've heard from someone else. It does take a little to get used to just because it's different. I can also tell you that my left knee no longer hurts and stop and go traffic is a breeze.

 

Are you talking ultrashift as in eaton. Or Ishift. ?? Big diffrence. I wouldn't hesitate to get a Ishift but I would steer clear of anything eaton if it don't have a stick

 

Why do you think that?

 

my ultrashift has 975k on it.... 1 clutch, 1 Z Y shifter, is all i've had to fix

 

Because I've got a truck in my fleet. It's got a auto shift eaton. It's had a bunch problems. Never has shifted right since we bought it. Can't stand the pos. We are going to replace it soon with a stick. When your broke down on side of hwy, stuck in low range because your trans is confused you will have a diffrent view of them.

 

Same reason I refuse to own anything with a egr valve , dpf,def or Vgt. It's all gonna leave you on side of the road sooner then later. No thanks , you guys have fun with that.

 

same thing happens with a stick when the HI-LO range selector goes bad.....

 

A computer is not controlling the high/low on a regular trans.
lM just saying , lots more stuff to go wrong on them trans.

 

true BUT i had a 2009 prostar with a 10 sp STICK and a 2006 volvo with a ultrashift...... had the high/low range selector go out on both.... guess what both were stuck in LOW RANGE a broken part is still a broken part, does it matter that a computer was controling it.....
