... I happened across this old post
I have an auto and no interest in changing to manual*.
So was that poster right way back when ?
Is an auto tranny up to the stress of stage 3 or not ?
Must confess, I was always under the impression that it was the auto transmission that was the better able to handle more power than the manual before seeing this post. Am I wrong about that ?
* Please, manual fanbois save the posts trying to persuade me of the error of my ways ? I've had two manual S13's before this one and I am well aware of the benefits / demerits. I am so much happier with the auto once I got used to it. Plus which I have a spare low mileage auto box sitting waiting in the garage in case of need
