Slower and thirstier:I The torque converter absorbs engine power so the overall effect is less power to the wheels.

can't really comment on a standard commer engine and auto gearbox set-up

 

[Dickie Turpin]

Mine is an auto - its not too economical but i don't think the manual is great?

It drives a treat and seems really robust.

I love it

auto too although eventually would like to go back to the engine and gearbox I bought off Paul Goldsmith if he ever actually gives it to me. Auto with a pinto engine current;y so could couldnt comment on a 1725 with an auto

Rob, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday.

I know Paul Goldsmiths gone AWOL again but there may be a decent engine and gearbox going that I know of, not that it is fair that you have to pay for one again.

Has anyone heard from Paul Goldsmith?

Nowt wrong with auto's in general but some applications are better than others. I had an auto Sierra and the official figures made it actually a bit quicker off the mark and only a couple of MPG shy of the manual. I read a road test of an auto Mini years ago, very advanced with it's 4 speed shift, the reviewer described the driving experience as 'hilarious'. The fuel consumption did really suffer - I wouldn't be happy with 25 - 30mpg for a Mini:I
