To Auto or not to Auto (GVR4). That is the question...

Nelson has given me some good advice.

Auto is not for everybody, I might hold onto the dog box, try the auto conversion and if i decide i do not like it go back to manual. If I do like it, sell the dog box. Dog boxes are always in demand anyway.

Why do we have so many choices in life..... difficult ones also...

I didn't read the whole thread, but if it's not street driven, if it's a drag only car, just do auto. If you'll ever drive it anywhere but the dragstrip, keep it manual. There's absolutely no reason at all to keep it manual if it's a drag only car...
My .02 cents, and the reason my car is and will remain a 5 speed. But if it was just a drag car it'd be auto.

Good choice Barry!
You staying manual gives me more of a chance at having the fastest VR4 in Australia with my auto setup and stock block until you see the light /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would definitely do a few test hits with the dogbox but do realize that the car will always be more consistent and quicker with the slushbox. I have entertained the thought of auto-swapping my junk. I'm clueless about autos, but, Abel Racing is in my backyard and that's all they do. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
