That is exactly what the transmission in my truck is like Mack, only mine's a Meritor. But it is still an auto shift...meaning there are still 12 gears and a clutch in it, the tranny's ECU just does all the shifting for me. There is no way that they can eat alot more fuel, they are actually more economical than a manual transmission, as they never over rev and consistently shift through the gears at the peak rpm to power ratio.
