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!Quote:

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
Autos are good for people that don't have good gear choice or control hahahhahahahahahhahaha sorry couldn't help meself
I'd prefer an auto off road in the mud it just makes things easier.
Nothing like missing a gear in a manual halfway through a big sludge pit you just want to slap yourself .
Haha I have good gear choice, D is for Don't stop! LolQuote:

asked for an explanation, I'll stick with man trans for now .lol.
good stuff, I like it.
Sorry, Autobots.
As per many adventures (which are posted up here) I'll pit my auto on sand, mud, and rock against any comparable truck with a manual ... simple as that!! lol
Yep, potentially more costly to maintain (and this is my first auto by the way over 6 fourbies including 3 other patrols) but I am either lazy, stupid, or both ... because now I have the heavy duty valve body, and the reduction gears, it is simply superb ... Remember, I had the TC problems last year (just hasn't been rectified by tightening the band etc) and could just be an electrical problem.
Oh, and by the way ... can't wait to go out wheeling with you growlers!!!!!! lmao
All good Bigrig.
I do understand different people want different things and have there own driving style etc.
haven a bit of a joke.
But was genuinely interested into why an auto was preferred off Rd in some circumstances.
As one day I may decide to leave the black stuff behind me.
Cheers
Whats wrong with Sydney traffic???????????????? If they get in the way I just run them off the road *LMAO*Quote:

LMFAO!!!
And no, for any crazy kids out there, I don't condone talking on your mobile or drinking whilst at the wheel .. Feels plain wrong that I feel I even need to add that these days ... But you can adjust your mirrors and sun visors at will though ... lol
I've never ever thought that Auto's would be good 4WD'ing. Always stuck to my "manual" guns.
While there are a few pro's to having a manual, there are certainly just as many pro's to having an auto.
All comes down to driving preference and suitability. I can get a bad back sometimes with an old injury plus I have arthritis in both hips. Pushing a clutch in all the time can give me some grief.
But using a manual is just so visceral! lol.
What about riding the brake down a hill because you've got an auto ;)
Easier to have it in that gear so you can really focus on that tree you're gonna hit :D
