a new box would be $100 max

why aren't they getting a manual?

good box. fairly resistant to abuse if you service it well. much awesomer (yes i made that word up) if shift kitted and tans cooled. they are a smart box. will change gears how you want it to once you learn how to control the box with your foot

[mid life crisis]

My last car had the auto box in it and was pretty cool to drive. As mentioned by someone already It's really easy to work out how to get it to shift gears when you want it to.

They're supposed to be very similar to the series 3 R31 & R32 auto I think

FoX on these forums can tell you how strong they are... can't you Steve

Umm..... yeah. If you want a nice auto, its ok. They can be a tad sluggish between gear's.

Im on my 4th auto now in my r33.

1st died while driving at 80k's on the monaro, all by its self. I lost drive and overdrive. I didnt abuse the box at all, I still dont know what i did to kill it.

My 2nd box...... well lets just say park to 1st @ rev limiter = bad.

3rd, the hose that runs under the radiator to the box oil cooler came out of the clip and mashed itself into the engine fan. No oil = dead box. I noticed that it was doing odd things and pulled over right away but i was too late.

4th box is in the car and still going strong.
