My last 72 square was an auto and I was told (and found out for myself) that there wasn't a single place in town that would touch an air-cooled automatic VW! As far as power, I haven't noticed much difference (hill's maybe) Donovan Rogers -----Original Message----- From: Mark Michel [mailto:doublem@earthlink.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 1998 5:18 PM To: VW TYPE III LIST Subject: [T3] manual vs. automatic transmission Hello again. After conducting some further research, I have a couple of general questions for all of you. I could be opening up a new debate that could prove to be as vicious as the recent one over FI vs. carbs : ) , but here goes: 1. Are automatic transmissions more troublesome and difficult to deal with than manual ones? 2. Are there significant drawbacks to having an automatic transmission as far as operation goes (not enough power when you need it, uses more gas, etc.)? Any thoughts, experiences, gripes or suggestions would be swell. Thanks a bunch.
