Now, if GM's Engineers could come up with a decent non clunking tranny
for their extebded cabs, my life would be a heck of a lot better.:-)

You figure after building cars for what, 90-100 years,, some one would
come up with a keeper.


IIRC, back in the mid 1950's, Buick had a transmission called something like
"turboglide", that shifted without feeling or hearing it shift.  I think it
failed because of the fact that you couldn't hear or feel a shift.  

I could very well be wrong in my recollection.
