thats good to know. But you agree you have seen more autos?????? Maybe?
I did not want to say they did not come in manuals. But the ones I see for sale are mostly autos.........weird eh? I have not seen one manual for sale, not that I am searching non stop for hj60's for sale. Just refereing to when I purchased my BJ60.
Not an expert opinion here, but I think a 2h auto would cruise fine. And I see no problem turbo' it for low boost. In OZ they offer many turbo kits for it, so it must be OK. Everything non stock on any engine reduces engine life. That is life IMOP.
I also must mention for the OZ here, in Canada and the US almost all the vehicles sold currently and for the last 20 yrs are autos. only econo cars are manuals. Having a manual is generally looked upon as being "cheap".
Only really imports in recent times are manuals, or sports models.
for domestics they are almost all autos. trucks too. Toyota tundras with the V8 only come in autos. To get a standard you have to eliminate the v8 and 4x4. also choose the reg cab not the extended version.
Toyota sucks. They do not offer much choice.
GM ford and Dodge, probably only offer manuals on their trucks in stripped down versions too. Auto is the king here.
Ok history lesson over.
Install the 2h with your auto. Put in one of those turbo glide tranny kits, and turbo the engine, all will run nicely...........See the write ups on the tranny kits, there has been a few in here on it. The Dude did one and I think Greg_B. More on the Hj61 with the 12H-t and the auto....
