Automatic Z - problems? or bullet proof?
Could have been a one off. I almost bought the AT but decided I wanted the inconvenience of having to use my left foot and pull my hand from the steering wheel to shift so that I could avoid the evil glares from all the burly old school sports car curmudgeons. I resemble that remark, as did my Jag XK150 driving dad and all his Austin Healy (3000), Jag (early E type) driving friends, and my brother in his 944 and ... oh my god, I have gone on too long haven’t I?
The second link has some interesting posts regarding how to solve what issues there may be, with great success I might add. The MT was a choice. I like it. But the AT would have been just as much fun I think. |
All I read was a guy who tracked the auto without the mandatory track mod for the automatic. A transmission cooler and another guy with a undetermined tranny issue. I can pull multiple issues on manuals.
As stated, it's all rumor. My tranny is bulletproof but I have all the cooler mods as they were most important, then my eibach sways were done, then my stoptech pads rotors and lines were done. This made my car track ready. Then suspension mods made it a better performer. For power I don't have much. Filters w/silicone tubes and a straight pipe on the exhaust. With that alone I'm pretty faster than most stock Z's. You're gonna track? You better prep. Bad examples of tranny issues.
This is turning into a lame azz tranny preference debate. I'm out.
