Well I bit the bullet and put an Automatic Gearbox in my 79 Series Toyota. The guys in SA at Go 4X4 did the conversion. There's a lot that goes into the conversion and as much in re learning to drive off road again. But what a blast. I talk the installation journey through with experience now with Hi-way, Towing and some good off road driving under the belt with the new gearbox.
Was it worth it? You'll have to listen. And the bit at the end where they retune my gearbox from Melbourne while I'm driving down a highway in Adelaide still blows me away.
Hope you enjoy.
