I'm scratching my head on the transmission types the Newell factory has used. I have seen Newell's with 4, 5, and 6 speed automatics and most seeming to be manufactured by Allison World Transmission I believe. It doesn't seem like it is related to a mpg issue like they push in the auto industry. While looking around at many Newell coaches out there I have found similar years with all three choices. ????
