3-Speed Auto? Bloody hell!

Transmission: 3-speed automatic.

....Surely a typo... :odd:

If this thing was made in the 60s, hell even on 70s, I'd understand, but, really? 1993, and 3 speeds? :rolleyes:

It's not a typo. Vectors had 3-speeds.

GM didn't make a transmission in the 1980s that would keep from grenading if hooked up to the W8 engine except for the three speed in the 1970s Eldorado/Toronado, and the WX-3 was built directly off of the W8.

....That's a tragedy. Who designed this, the guy responsible for Chapparal 2J? (just kidding.)

If Jim Hall had made this, it would have been way better

It's not. This 3-speed is considered one of the best automatics, if not the best.

Heh, it was either this, or the transmission going kaput faster than you can say "slushbox". Pick your poison, as they say.
