Are there any?

going for an auto 3.0/3.2 this time, and was wondering do the auto boxes have any differences between the Elite and MV6's, maybe a CDX if i find a good one.

Do the autos have a sport button for example?!

Also, 1,2 & 3 is selectable.....can i drive off in 1 and shift manually to 2 then to 3 and finally to D. and then back down. sort of like a crude tiptronic

the auto boxes ar25 and ar35 have the same controls,both have sports modes and yes you can use the gears manually

pirtty sure hardware wise all AR35's are the same on the Omega, as are 25's. They may have different ECU's though, depending on age  :-/

There is certainly no difference in the boxes in terms of car trim, CDX/MV6/Elite boxes will all be exactly the same, nothing special was done to them for each model.

Stick it in 1, it stays in 1, stick it in 2 and it used only gears 1&2, stuck it in 3, and it uses 1,2&3.

When i want some fun in the twisties, i usually shift manually, so pull off in 1, then shift to 2, and so on. There is a little delay in doing so, so change before you reach red line

what sort of a delay are we talking about!? is it really sluggish.

ill be going for the facelift models of cars, FYI on ECU's


also which box is used with which engine? and how reliable are they?

[tunnie]

about a second or two on delay i would say.

2.0's & 2.5/2.6 got AR25 as did 2.5 TD

3.0's and 3.2's got the stronger AR35
