Off roading with auto box

(1/2) > >>

philwelch820:
i own a 300tdi manual discovery which i love off roading in but have to hold back the enjoyment just in case the unthinkable happens as its also my daily transport.

ive recently bought a cheap 3.9 rrc auto for off roading and before i go and spend the cash on big tyres 2" lift ect, ive suddenly got doubts about the fact its an auto.

any experience or advice on my problem?
any problems i should be aware of?

cheers
phil

auto will give you better power delivery as in you dont need to clutch if you get the gearing wrong on climbs etc as its constantly in gear

Xtremeteam:
autos are better than manuals,keep it sweet on clean oil & filter :wink:

redneck:
Just remember to stick it in 1st rather than D for the steep downhill bits or the auto will change gear and you won't get engine braking  :shock:

andygod:
Ditto to all of the above, I off road in a 200 3.5V8 Disco with an auto box without any problems. Its a different driving style that of a manual but no less capable.
