If the TCU can be reprogrammed not to shift harshly during downshift it would be ok. also, when dropping into passing gear on the freeway, the clutch is let out before the engine can rev up causing a buck - similar to a bad driver trying to downshift a stickshift.
That's more than enough reason to abandon this. I'll stick with my plans for the Quaife diff.
