Like most Morgan's the AeroMax's steering is very direct, but at dead-centre there is a degree of slack that has to be taken up and this has been eliminated with the new box. I am told it is roughly the same ratio, but have not checked this out.
I agree that the autobox suits the nature of the car, it is easy to make progress just using the wall of torque that the 4.8 litre engine produces and I think he's pretty right about the rear-end breakaway as well.
