New to the 4 x4 scene and am going to purchase a Patrol. Seeking advice as to if auto or manual transmission is better?? Will be doing all of Aust including top end - can't seem to get straight advice from car sales man.

My understanding is if you are going to be running in soft sand and mud then the automatic is better. If you are going to be towing then the manual may be better because of the engine breaking. Automatics are obviously better if you are running around town. |

An automatic may be more comfortible but I relay more on a manual especialy when going out in the bushes. It is for example possible to pull or start downhill if you`re out of electricity. It`s mostly a question about to get used to it. Have a nice trip! |

Is it possible to Swap auto transmission from Nissan Patrol GQ 1992 Long Wheel Base and install in Nissan Patrol GQ 1996 Short Wheel Base. What is needed? |
