thinking of getting a RRC
Range Rover Blues:
On a manual it's 4th direct, on an auto it's 3rd direct, so roughly speaking there is no 1st gear. Bit autos dont work like that, you have a fluid coupling or torque converter that works like a constantly variable gearbox, so it does the job nicely and when accelerating the gearchanges are much slicker.
Don't know about the power consumed by the gearvbox but there will be some, that's why they are not so good behind a small engine.

Wont having 4 gears instead of 5 affect acceleration?
What is approx. the power loss you from an auto compared to manual? Does anyone know?

You cant realisticly measure it, best to test drive both and make an informed decision for yourself :wink:
My preference is still auto :wink:

Ok, thanks all. Well if I had to make a snap decision right now, I think I'd take auto.
SO, vehicle decided, engine decided, gearbox decided. Now all I need is money :roll:
well that's life, I suppose.
Anyone have any recommendations for MTs? :wink:
