Where an aftermarket ECU manages the engine, the TM16 manages the gearbox: solenoids, clutch control, shift scheduling, torque modelling and driveline safety. It is designed to be universally applicable, with firmware that is fully configurable rather than locked to preset transmission profiles. Every input, output and subsystem is configured on a case-by-case basis, which is what lets one TCM control everything from a ZF 8HP to a Nissan GR6 DCT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eZF 8HP support with base calibration included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer Emtron's own documentation, the ZF 8HP (multi-clutch) is a supported transmission for the TM16, with a base calibration included. That means an Emtron-equipped 8HP swap has a factory-tested starting point rather than a blank canvas. If your transmission is not on the supported list, that does not mean it cannot be controlled, it means the configuration work falls on the tuner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTransmission compatibility (Emtron published status)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransmission\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStatus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZF 8HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported, base cal included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNissan GR6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported, base cal included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGetrag GS7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported, base cal included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorsche PDK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVW DQ500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTremec TR-9080\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi DL800\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGM 6L80E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord 6R80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord 10R80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegration with Emtron ECUs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TM16 integrates over CAN with all Emtron ECUs for fully torque-modelled shifting and downshift rev-matching with minimal setup.
