Rod 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 To my knowledge "A" represents automatic transmission. I am certain someone here could corfirm or correct my belief here. Rod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 A usually stands for automatic it shifts by itself! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topless 7 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 I thought A was for aged... normally old farts drive BM's with aged transmission... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rod 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 A for aged! I fully agree. Back in '98 I originally wanted a manual as the slushbox destroys that taught handling that only a manual box can provide. I needed a five seater, therefore E28 or E23 as anything newer was over $20K at that time which was well beyond my budget. I searched for about 6 months for a manual and then gave up as I needed a car (carrying five people on a GSXR750 does not work for me). Saying that, part my left ankle bone is missing and the slushbox is welcome as my foot gets pretty sore otherwise, but I still hate automatics. I may put in a manual box one day as it is more enjoyable, even though painful. Rod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
