are there any alternatives/choices to do tip tranny upgrade besides L10 (and manual tranny swap :P)?

Depends on what you did to your valving. What trany was it? TFlites love snap shifts...

can't speak to the GMs but some of the Mopar guys run the GM 350 series with adapters and build them the same way.

How much HP were you pushing and I may be assuming incorrectly that you were running "better than stock" components in the performance-built ones in the first place...

I guess we should just say "too hard" of shifts..

I agree that "good, solid shifts" are good. I was pointing out that one of the killers is shifts that are "too hard" for a given trans.

FWIW, Most of the trans were TH350s, eventually went to a TH400. Many upgraded parts and roughly 525HP. (so same ballpark some of these guys want to run with their S4s. )

Probably not a downgrade for him. I would rather have a six speed, BUT I wouldn't convert my tip

to one. I would probably just buy a six speed s4 instead...

For me i enjoy a stick as a weekend car, not one for daily traffic. Shifting is for enjoying the...

FWIW, I would have taken either, just see the TIP as..

more appropriate for a "sports sedan". I would have bought either but found a car I liked for the right price and it happend to be a tip.

"D" Sedan "Tip mode" sports
