--- Quote from: "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.

Damn autos are complicated! :?
I'm going to have to do some tough-thinking research tomorrow to get to understand them.
Range Rover Blues:
One tiny problem-ette with an V8 is that many MTs are not rated correctly for the speed the V8 is capable of.
Otherwise I'd say Machos are good, BFG are ok.
