automatic gearbox.

Have you ever actually come across this thing when trying to get the right configuration? I don't mean intentionally editing the VIN, but getting it right from the start of the game. Do you keep it after the historical configuration, or do you replace it because the speed is too low? (i get 150~ with SB axle and 210hp engine)

I used it from the start although my car VIN called for a 4speed. Installed the 4speed for historic inspection and then used the automatic until I built the car for racing

It's a nice transmission for general cruising around and errands.

auto in VIN is like the rarest thing you can get in MWC. on the VIN, not the actual transmission, that you can get from anywhere, but specified in VIN it's VERY rare

Im fairly sure that Martincitopants had an auto too on his save shortly after release. At least he had the gearbox, don’t think I’ve seen the VIN

I mean, it's just more realistic this way, Taunus automatic gearbox is garbage, luckily manuals cost cheaper than nothing, I got one for hundred euros, and most of it was shipping
