Prospeeder Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 iv read somewhere that the Auto ones have more gear reduction for more power, but either should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have used manual in auto and vice versa; either will physically function. IIRC, General Disorder was the one that has said that there is a gearing difference... I haven't seen this but that means little or nothing. I *have* seen FSM specs that states the auto version has a higher KW rating (at least for a certain year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah - I like using the auto's as they spin faster, and it doesn't sound like my battery is dieing all the time GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
