Thanks mate - checked that one, so hopefully one thing ruled out.

X2 they are great!

so whats the tc doing on yours big? is it just not locking up at all?

Dont suffer the related issues.
Should easily handle all the extra torque you have now.
Even give extra power as auto's lose suck rear wheel power and torque.
Better fuel economy.
A bolt on upgrade, so to speak.
Better brake response.
Lighter in weight increased pay load.
Easy to service.
But if you drive around town I agree an auto is certainly easer to drive in traffic.
Yes possibly quicker gear change in auto.
With all the extra go you have now, that might not be such a problem anymore.


You'll love this, even the Missus by her own choice will only drive a manual. lol

Ya forgot the main thing tho.....Autos are better for 4wding!

My girlfriend prefers a manual too. But she's not halfway up a muddy hill lol

I can't comment on off Rd lack of time off the black stuff.
Would of thought it pretty even.
I take onboard your comment.
I guess was looking at it from manily a mechanical point of view before.
Not trying to stir the pot please don't go there, but.
If going off Rd most of the comments thought really stack up off Rd.
I forget to mention, no transmission cooler to worry about.
Radiator not loaded up doing 2 jobs unless separate cooler fitted.
another system to worry about and more cost.
Trying to look at whole pic now since it been pointed out to me, that's all.
Please explain why better,I can guess but not the same as going by someone's real world experience.
Always learning.
I admit to saying and would prefer if I had to drive in say Sydney type traffic, an auto would be the go.

cheers
