What was the deal with the automatic in those cars? I dated a girl in high school who... Uh, wait, wrong story.

I remember this 411 that a neighbor had. It seemed like they were always wrestling with the shifter when driving but it was an automatic...were those automatic clutch trannies like the sportomatic?

Later,
Kevin

PS - I browse 411 on the samba myself. It must be because of that girl in high school... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

The T3 used a TRUE automatic transaxle, NOT the auto-stick like that of the Bug. And the T3 automatic shifts smoothly and works very well...when maintained...just like any other car. My girlfriend liked my T3 automatic better than her 2002 Passat 2.0t automatic. My friend Brian has an automatic T4 and it shifts even more smoothly. The automatic tranny can handle upto +200hp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) And being Borg-Warner inside means you can still get parts.

The T3 automatic I used to own:
