Have you had a 1000 with supercharger and tricked auto to make that statement?
The auto is going to cost me halve what a cheap 63a goes for and 1300 is cheap considering if its any good.
no D, I haven't. But in a normal Datsun manual box there is a big 'hole' between 2nd and 3rd that noticeably hurts performance. With a 3spd auto, that gap is enormous and the 1st to 2nd shift will absolutely kill the performance of such a low powered car. I've seen the effect of a 196rwbhp Datsun converting from manual to the exact 3spd Jatco you're talking about and even just for drag racing with stall speeds and diff ratios optimised to make the auto as good as possible for accellerating over 400m, it still hurt its performance pretty badly. For drift with various radius corners requiring various entry and mid corner speeds, 3 gears just isn't going to cut it with a low power/torque car. It just won't offer the flexibility you'll need. Even if it was a manual 3spd, rather than a power robbing auto. That's not rocket science. Hell, a 6% gearing change (ie the 0.2 which you say is squat) has made my 270rwbhp track car half a second a lap faster on a short track (QR Clubman) that takes just over 60sec to complete! Gearing is a massive factor for a car's performance. And the less power/torque you have, the more important gearing is.
