MAKE THE POINT: 6-speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission
The standard Heavy-Duty TorqShift 6-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with Tow/Haul Mode is designed
and built with the ability to adapt operating calibrations to meet the needs of the driver and provide consistent and
durable shifts throughout the life of the vehicle. Be sure to communicate to your customer that most transmission
calibration adjustments are made during the first few times the vehicle is driven and that they may notice harsher
transmission shifts during this time. Assure the customer this is normal and how the transmission learns and
adapts to the habits of the driver and maintains optimal transmission shift point settings.
