Thanks for the update. Was thinking about this the other day again.These guys are working on a 10R80 controller: https://www.usshift.com
No clear release date but they have a video where they swapped a 10R80 into a Grand Marquis.
My exact thoughts after reading their site. Hopefully if they pioneer it though, someone else will develop a swap that’s more catered to Ford to Ford swaps, VS a universal style swap. It’s still encouraging though. Still surprised that this isn’t a bigger movement with how successful the A10 seems to be.I expect US Shift to be the best chance at a 10 speed swap. The downside is the lack of integration with the rest of the cars systems. So that means no drive mode changes, no gear indications, etc...
I think the issue has been availability. I have yet to see a 10 speed listed for a reasonable price. As with everything though, that should change.My exact thoughts after reading their site.

Exactly. They made a coyote swap kit, why not for the A10?A kit from Ford with the proper electronics/flashable tune would be really nice. They might sell more than they think.
The only chance I think there is for a DIY format would be the 15-17 EB owners. The 18 EB didn't change alot so the required PCM and engine harness would likely be a drop in replacement. The GTs have the dual injection system that makes things difficult and the V6 owners are just screwed all around for any DIY setup.It’s unlikely this will ever be completed in a DIY format based on the electronics involved between the 18 and older models. I figured some aftermarket companies would have jumped on this, and for them money shouldn’t be an issue. At least someone is finally getting around to it. Better than where we were a few months ago even. Now if Ford would get on the wagon and make a kit... that would be the best option.
The rep from that business said via email they expect their stand alone system to be ready mid 2019.
The 10R80 swap into a Panther. This is obviously still a work in progress and was noted above, but def. something to keep an eye on.
