It works the exact same as all auto transmissions. It's variable from a one speed to a full 6 speed depending on how many parts are currently working. I thought my 4sp auto was junk, you can add 50% in the junk factor here. By the time the service life of the truck is over, $20,000 or more wasted all added up from maintenence, initial purchase price and fuel wasted however it *is* all worth it as a cell phone can be glued to a drivers ear instead of the dreaded shifting. Makes me sick.
