Doing a half cut conversion and was thinking this morning about using the auto (dual transfer ~70:1 crawl) because I have got a bung left knee and heaps of clutch work makes it hurt
Heres a few questions
Q1. I have read that the autos are short. How long is the auto & x-fer compared to the standard 5 speed.
Q2. What will the gearing be like on road. I am running 31s would like to go to 33s
Q3. Should I stop being a Nancy, stick with the manual and sell the auto to get gears for the x-fer
cheers

1> they arent that short as the 4spd auto comes with the frontcuts and not the 3spd triamtic vit auto.
2> Fark knows
3> Good luck selling the auto as i am still trying to. Stick with the manual

1. It is the jimny auto that is super short definatly not the 4 speed vit (or even the 3 speed for that matter)
2. do the math
3. you will die with the auto unless you give it away

I know mugginsmoo (melboune) wants a Vit 4 speed auto but it needs to have the computer and be at the right price.
