The answer to both questions is why would you.



Because I sometimes transport young children ad nervous passengers in the car and would like to make the trip as soon as smooth as possible for them in traffic.

Based on your questions, why did you go with a RMVB in the first place?



Because it came with the Pro Race trans from CRT - John recommends them for a better line pressure - and I destroyed my 904 because the 450 pft the engine makes was too much for the Stage 2 fwd pattern.

And the car gets raced...

And the car sees 5000 road miles a year.

A RVMB is pretty much like a Stick without a clutch pedal. No big deal to drive around, but your downshift speeds should be lowered from what you'd do with a stick, since an AT doesn't match RPMs like a throttle-blip does with a stick.



Good advice - thanks.

I would always take off in first and quickly shift through to top gear



No worries Al...thats the other option I guess.


Thanks for all the responses - the car performs a lot of different roles for us so all driving styles have to be accomodated.
