hey there and welcome ....more vl owners da better lol

Having Killed a VL Auto, They are pretty robust as long as you do your thrashing in Power Mode, They are essentially a 3 Speed box with an overdrive unit on the front, and its the overdrive which is the weak link. When it goes (or even starts slipping) fragments from the OD clutches and brakes take out the rest of the box. Also they hate being shifted to 2nd and 1st manually while moving. Manual conversion using the right equipment can be done in an afternoon.

you can do about 80km\h in reverse in 3 litre autos.........down the main street of ashburton................

haha 70kmh in 1st in my old royale lol. on the rev limiter of course.awesome for skids.

reverse is so much more fun.....i dont recommend trying it.......it was a bit hairy...but none the less fun when your age 16 and its your friends car lol
