can i ask a stupid question but what is switchable autos? and is it on all the autos? cheers

Dont think anyone understood your question

 

Stuart

Do you mean an automatic with gear change buttons on the steering wheel making it semi-automatic ?

over drive switch???

sport mode switch???

maybe it's some complicated mechanical system that turns the gearbox into a manual...

 

"go go gadget zbox" etc.

No chance - no way in the world could an auto be turned into a manual - they are not refined enough

 

CheerZ,

I agree with Duff. How could an auto be changed to burn up clutches like they're going out of fashion ? And where would you fit the leaking slave cylinder

 

 

P.S. In answer to the original question, I believe this is generally used to refer to multi-mode autos - i.e. power and hold mode on the Z (often referred to as sport and ice on other cars). It's standard on Jap spec and not available on UK spec.

i was just looking through the auto trader and see it advertised a couple of times "switchable auto " so i just thought id ask, are autos as quick as manuals?

Oh you've done it now...

craig, quick - close the thread NOW b4 someone gets hurt!

Colky,

 

In case you were wondering what everyone is going on about, do a search using the keywords "auto, manual, tosser, kill, dead, northern poof, southern poof, welsh poof, scottish poof, foreign poof"

 

Before this thread takes the server down, there is little in it between auto & manual and it's down to personal preference.

hope these autos are more reliable than the manual box - its like a fecking vauxhall mine - grinding in third!
