Comparing the acceleration or even hill climbing traits of a 3.31 10 speed to that of a 4.10 6 speed really needs to be shown in light of comparing the fuel economy in high gear between the two set ups. In order to obtain similar cruising fuel economy the two transmissions would have to be set up with similar final drive ratios .... with final drives equal the advantage of the 10 speed would be revealed comparing acceleration and heavy pulling performance.
Agreed. I was just showing the 6 spd can be tuned for all out performance.
Since the Aisin and 10 speed have similar top gear ratios, by using 4.10 the Aisin would give up a lot on empty cruising mpg.
At the end of the day, there's no denying more gears ARE better, all else being equal.
