The US Shift Quick 6 is a stand-alone clutch-to-clutch transmission controller designed for modern 6-10 speed automatic transmissions. Quick 6 utilizes a new self-tuning process (patent applied for), with an emphasis on ease of use and safety. The self-tuning capability and refined adjustment process enables an installation, setup, and tuning experience that is even simpler than earlier four speed transmissions, while maximizing adaptability to many different applications, vehicles, and power levels.

A new internal user interface streamlines the configuration, tuning, and troubleshooting processes. The self-adjustment capability and user settings enable a new level of shift quality for a stand-alone transmission controller. For applications where the first gear ratio of the chosen transmission is too low, second gear starts can be utilized to emulate a close-ratio transmission with one less speed. An integrated trans-brake option is planned for mid-2017.
