Like Pappy, I don't care for the Allisons. If that's true about the manual being gone for '10 and thereafter... that makes me sad and I wish I would have held out for a manual this time around, too. GM pissed me off when they disappeared theirs... and now Ford.

If your TS is getting "lost", you might try getting a Diablo Sport Predator programmer and setting it on the "middle" setting. I've been running mine for 40k and I have never experienced a "lost" shift. Just the opposite, my V-10 auto, runs with them all, and mostly much better than theirs.
