In a cooperative effort between Cherrier and ETK, Cherrier introduced the FCV, and not long after quietly started slipping in automatic transmissions with help from ETK, the first of which was a 10-speed, codenamed the 10FW90. Little was known about it at first, but after people got their hands on the first unit and dug into it, it was a surprise to many to see it was a joint effort between the two companies, seeing as ETK killed off their own 10 speed late in development due to worries that it would cannibalize the long-established king, their 8 speed. More interesting was the fact that even more transmissions started finding their way into the FCV.
So ultimately there are quite a few converter choices, which I had to do both for driveability sake as well as for shifting. Obviously the starting trans is the 10 speed, but along the way expect to see a 7 speed as well as a 5 speed make their way in.
NOTE: You will have to choose a torque converter after selecting the transmission, it doesn't automatically put one in. I would also opt for the 3.389 diff with the 10-speed and 7-speed units as that's what they were developed with.

Torque converter doesn't kick in until top because the way Beam.NG handles converters is absolutely horrible. Admittedly I've been meaning to tweak the diesel a bit but it's always on the back burner.
Low-power shift points, I agree, can be a bit excessive (like the i5 ), but was done when I didn't have converters done and got put on the back burner again. They likely wouldn't change all that much for the i3 since it makes absolutely no low end torque (especially before the turbo spools), but I can see other engines getting a bit of a reduction.
Bonus point: The 10 speed was made because of the i3 being weak and also for maximum zoom around a race track. It's genuinely obnoxious with anything other than the tallest final drive, but that's just part of the 10 speed charm I suppose.

Do I ever have good news for you. The update that does that appears to have gotten published. :)

Thanks! I've spent an absolutely absurd amount of time messing about with 10 speeds in the game and it's great to know it's paying off. :P
