RE-reading my post above, I need to clarify or expand on my question so here goes..
For SS1LE A10 users…how satisfied are you with the A10 from a performance and reliability standpoint while lapping ?
How good is proper gear selection while in auto mode ? Is it effective in selecting the right gear at the right time, or are you left waiting for the up / down shift ?
Do you normally lap in auto mode, or paddle shifting ?
How has reliability of A10 been ?
Any over heating at stock power levels ?
After tracking in various cars with manual transmissions for years, I tracked a couple of BMWs with their DCT transmissions for the past few years and became very comfortable with them. I know the A10 is no DCT but….close enough ? It would be perfect to hear from any folks who have tracked both the DCT and GMs A10. I guess the A10 adds about what…60 lbs over the manual ?
I suspect this question has been thrashed about here many times in the past so…my apologies for bringing it back up.
TIA

The A10 is absolutely PERFECT tranny for our cars for track purposes. In TRACK mode the down shifting and upshifting points are handled pretty much flawlessly by the tranny itself automatically . It is foolish to think you can better this by either paddle shifting the car or by trying to keep up with it in a manual. For road racing purposes the A10 is ALOT faster than .2 a lap I can assure you. I have had BOTH a manual and have tried to paddle shift the A10 as well and you cant touch this A10 in AUTOMATIC mode. I have my most fun by going faster around the track so I dont miss the clutch AT ALL. Tranny temps typically are in the MAX range of 220 degrees. In absolutely STOCK form the A10 ca handle 1000+ HP cars in a drag racing venue .
