auto driving

hi all i am a new menber and i got a y61 last august with the auto gear box as i and my partner do alot of long distance and city driving i tought it was best to go auto as years of driving stick in london has worn me down and a few years ago we got a captiva auto and i swore nthat i would new go back to a manul box again we are very keen to get out and get the car dirty and we drove out last week after the storms and came across the black soil on the old drit tracks around here it was great fun i just managed to keep the car on the track but felt i was pushing the engine to much whjat s the best way of tacking this is it best to have the over drive on or off etc

Welcome aboard mate, enjoy the forum and the auto - I love mine. Recommend overdrive off for those conditions, only use it for highway cruising.

Might be a daft question but were you in 4H or 2wd?

To tap, or not to tap: Well it's obviously tap because this is the signature hey!!!!!! Duh

G'day mate welcome aboard gotta friendly mob here fulla great info and advice

Gday Martin, welcome to the forum. I chose an auto because I believe they are superior for 4wding. Once you get used to it offroad you will be able to get a lot more out of it.
Have a little search around the forum as there are plenty of old threads discussing this:-)

Lucas bought an auto as he has no hand eye foot coordination ;)

Welcome aboard mate!

Pretty much all of the guys here recommend installing boost and pyro gauges so you can see what's happening under the bonnet, particularly when off road.
