Thread: Auto on sand

Not hard at all in low ratio.

Absolutely brilliant, way easier than a manual

Auto gearboxes are ideal for off- road work & generally perform better than manual boxes

My D3 only struggles when I'm too stubborn to drop the tyre pressure. In low, no dramas.

No problems at all. Agree with everyone else that has posted

So an L322 TD6 would do Simpson desert ok?

Not sure... Mines 3.9 injected V8 with ZF 4HP22 Auto...

Mines a D1 3.9 same autobox, Level'ish dunes no bother at all (4 high)

But when you start to climb up step dunes sand bowls etc watch that tanny oil temp it will climb up, easily hit 140c return oil temp if your not careful.

If you can fit a secondary tranny cooler to help ease the stress on the box.
