| DISCOVERY 3 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT AUTOBOX |
|
I have noticed that the Bentley Continental gt has the same autobox as fitted to the Discovery 3 all be it a modified version. In my opinion the box will handle a lot more torque etc, chip upgrade. TDV6 AUTO S JULY 2005

Hmm that means the big VW's must use it also, cant remember the name, is it the Phaeton (yawn) or something, after all thats all the Bentley is under the skin.
I wonder if the Toerag uses it also?

If this is the same box as the DB9 does anyone know of a software upgrade for the Bentley as the DB9's box changes brilliantly, just like a good manual double de-clutching, whereas the Bentleys is very sluggish and completely ruins the drive of the car??
