So what happened to the D2 with the newly rebuilt auto ? Well, nothing really. apart from the VSR for the aux battery karking it. The gearbox behaved properly with lockup happening when it should and the gear changes were fast and smooth. Even the fuel consumption while towing the camper was pretty good. Moe to Echuca and back towing the nearly 2 tonne camper returned just under 14l/100km. All I did was try and keep the TC locked as much as possible by going to third when it got close to unlocking.
It was a relaxing few days and the D2 behaved itself.
I now wait with baited breath for the next D2ism.
