MKBlue Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 Hi AcecardNo I dont think it is. Is there any way of checking I know you can do it with a manual is it the same for an auto??? Quote
mumble_bee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 you'd see the revs build up and then a gear change when the power kicks in.. generally you'll not notice more oomph as the revs get higher - so for eg: between 3 and 4k revs - no increase in speed just revs building up forcing a gear change... at which point you would start to increase speed again...
