I'm not sure... I will have to check when I pick it up next time I go up to dad's place... I'm not doing another manual conversion.... converting "The Defect" to a manual was 5 days of hell! but if it is a manual I do have that F4W60L... (A14 four speed) Posted on: 2006/5/16 11:52

Gutless, no. An A14 or A15 in front the auto will be more powerful than and A12 in front the auto. Posted on: 2006/5/17 3:35

For all I know if AUS there is no difference. In the USA every year, market (California, USA, and Canada) and manual and automatic have different curves (that's up to 6 different per year ... for the same A14 engine). Just put the engine in and go. Posted on: 2006/5/17 6:20
