![]() I don't see how 8 gears could ever be considered a "compromise" (in a car at least) I've driven trucks with (a lot) more, but that's because the "power to weight ratio" was practically zero, and some of the engines have only 500rpm of usable range. |

In performance driving conditions, a 10 speed can feel very odd with the ultra short gearing. And obviously a 4 or 5 speed automatic is a drain on performance and economy. That is where the 7 or 8 speed auto is a compromise, not too short in the gearing and also not constantly hunting for a gear, but also not straining the engine.

For towing, heavy accelerating and when S is selected, the gearbox then shifts sequentially through the gears. With so many gears, it can be hard to know what gear is actually in. One trick I have found with the 10 speed Ranger, click the + or - selector while in D and a gear map will be displayed on the cluster screen. Handy for knowing what gear the transmission is in and a interesting thing to observe. ![]() ![]()

https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/10...nd-trans-swap/ The 10R80 is the new kit on the block; it's Ford's implementation of the joint Ford-GM collaboration on a new high-tech trans. (GM's version is the 10L80 and 10L90.) Few, if any, performance hard parts are available yet for either manufacturer's version, but so far it seems to be a pretty stout piece under most hot rod scenarios. Dolejsi reports the only broken 10R80s he's seen are out of heavy four-wheel-drive trucks that (paradoxically) were lowered on drag radials, turbocharged, and subject to a full spool-up "hot launch" at the drags. "But only under that extreme boost-building condition—and only in trucks. Starting at the 600-hp level with power-adders in a car, the 10R80 only needs better clutches so far, which are available. Clutch failure starts with the F clutch pack; the E-clutch is next." If the trans is in good shape with low mileage, going through it for performance at the 1,000-hp level costs around $2,500 parts and labor. |

Looks like the XF-250 did. and the last of them in 2012 had an 8 speed. In theory this Trans should mate up to the territory diesel. to those in the know would the transmission module plug in.. and work? last problem of course is how many wreck 2012 XF 250s are in australia..
