There are more goddamn psts on this board about auto related problems, and such, that m6 problems. I am thinkin, or was, of switching to a 400 but after reading the first three or four pages of this auto forum I have been leaning toward just going with that Gforce and 2step... I mean, i only wanted to get an auto cuz i have realized it will be better on leaving, but i dont think so much now. I would rather row through my gears and hope when a little Italian or Jap comes creepin I dont miss a gear, or grind. I dont have a prob;lem with auto, at all, but it seems like alot of other guys do. Do i have any objections????

autos manuals , everyone has problems , 300 people post on here happy with there auto and three suck,So all autos suck , same goes from the manual forum but reverse ,
Who builds them and what are the parts is what matters .
Remember a unhappy person is 100 times more likley to post than a happy one , Thats a fact

i would have to agree that they can be built and have been for years, but unfortunantly the bad news travels and the good doesn't. so just look for a reputable builder and talk to some of their customers before going auto. I have a friend in the same corner right now, but we've pulled his m6 about 7-8 times so far and talking him into the auto is getting so much easier for the race car he's building. just my 2 cents. so make up your mind and

Agreed with the above.

And to add, I see more people complaining of M6 + clutch problems than A4 + converter problems.

Absolutely. And don't forget the rear end you're going to have to buy if you're serious about launching the thing.

It definately depends on who builds it. At least as far as the TH350/400s are concerned. I lost faith in the 60E and still don't think anyone can build them to withstand the abuse.
I have one of Rosslers TH400s in my 94 and I finally have a tranny I can rely on. Very happy with his transmission.

I have had bad luck with an auto tranny twice. First was the stocker, which did last 55k miles and dozens of low 12 second passes. Can I complain about it? Hardly since it was a stock trans and was with an aftermarket stall for 25k miles.

Now, my second trans was the max evil III. Felt great but took a dump at 6k easy miles. No where near the stock trans and also treated much better with only 15 or so track passes. I found out later that the band that broke was a major problem and actually recalled by raysbestos.

Now I'm running the FLT level IV. Won't get a chance to run it this year but I'm hoping it well outlasts the dr evil paperweight.
