Yes they did last I knew. When I left they were getting in some Volvos with Ultrashifts in them. They said they were nice. I was actually talking about Manito, who I drove for last. They have Peterbilts with Ultrashifts in them. One driver told me he liked them paired with the Cats better than the PACCAR motors. He said they shifted better.

If given the option I would prefer a 13 or a 10 speed over an auto but I've never really siren am auto to give it the thumbs up or down.

Edit, I often dreamed of how much easier life would
be if I had an automatic when I was stuck in stop and go gridlock on I-55, I-80 or city streets (La Grange rd southbound at 3-5 PM south of I-55).
