The brand of your transmission has absolutely nothing to do with the number of times you can shift it before your air runs out. Anyhow, what pressure are you shifting at? Last year, we shifted at about 45 PSI and got 12 shifts out of one tank. How can you get well over 100? You must have been shifting at a low pressure. We started at about 100 psi in the tank, took 12 shifts, and ended under just 45. But anyway, 12 shifts is shifting once every 10 seconds. So, if shifting is your only pneumatics, you can probably get by with one tank.
