The new rule does state OEM Electronic Shift. How do you interpret it?

Electronic rpm controls for the electric (internal or external to the transmission) shifting of OEM electric shift automatic transmissions permitted in computer controlled vehicles only.


My assumption is Mr. Forte will have some input on this.

This maybe a problem because there is no such thing as a 200-e , or a 350-e , or a 400-e . Which means to me that the only OEM electric shift transmissions that would be eligible for this rule would be a 4L60-e , 4T80-e , or any of the GM automatic transmissions built after 1993 . The way the rule is written , would be more restrictive , and eliminate an e-shift 200 .
