there were no auto ET's and why bother? where's the fun in an auto? the only reasons for auto's are for the oldies and for hardcore drag cars. don't mean to be so in your face but i had to drive the missus's Holden Commodore VN auto v6 tonight and god damn what a load of shit! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH :twisted:



by all means go ahead with using an auto but i'd take a rough guess and say it won't last too long.

It would work, but the auto box wouldnt stand up to the powerful little ET engine for too long.

I’ve Now Broken 11 Manual Gearboxes and 1 Auto. DON’T WASTE TIME WITH AUTOS! Mine hade bigger Clutches, Bigger Bands, full manual body shift Kit, Stall Converter, B&M Shifter, and it lost all drive within a few days! They have shit ratios and CANNOT withstand the power. May be alright with a standard pulsar or one with limited modifications.

I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense.
