If you use a normal manual trans then you can use whatever you want

Correct, the T800, W900, T660 all the same cab.

KW will build a 600 Cat with an 18 AutoShift, has a clutch pedal to stop and start, otherwise automatic operation.

A C15 big block Cat is available with a 13 Ultrashift. Has to be max 475hp and max 1650 torque.

Downtown, how does the auto shift work? I have the 18 speed but was not offered this option.

with an autoshift you still have a clutch pedal but you only use it to take off. once you are moving computer solenoids shift your trans for you.. If the trans solenoids ever crap out bad enough you can lift the top plate off the trans and replace it with a normal one like you already have.
