Torque is higher in the Auto Box. Manual is restricted to protect the clutch and also for emissions.
Thanks Dan for confirming my thoughts and explaining why it’s the better choice of Plus Four.
Not on the WRP4 in fact it is the reverse as the auto needs increased slip and reduced power in 1st & 2nd. I think MMC just used an out of the box ECU.
