Part 2 - TOYOTA 70 SERIES 6 SPEED AUTO CONVERSION || Wholesale Automatic Transmissions Toytota AB60

This episode rolls straight off the back of the first episode released 2 weeks ago. So what has changed?

I go over a bit more detail of the conversion, talk about some observations (good impartial and bad) and then do some travelling to get some stats up.

I had thought the 79 would be thirstier around town (not yet done those figures) but I was a little surprised with the highway fuel figures. I had thought lower RPM would provide some benefit. But, overall, no that was not the case.

I'm using about 1/2 litre more fuel per 100 kms. Still very decent numbers at 12.95 litres per 100 kilometres over 1,667.6 kms average.


With the manual I use to use about 5-6 litres more per 100 kms towing the Matrix, about 17.04 litres per 100 kilometres, than when not towing. Tomorrow I head up the coast, albeit only a very short drive of some 130 odd kilometres.

Those who know the track, the inside road between Bundaberg and Agnes Water, will know it is a varied track of undulations, winding road and some open stretches. This will be a good little run (there and back) to check some basic fuel figures towing with the Auto and also to sus out the transmission temperatures.

I'm more interested in how the AB60 performs over this short track than the fuel consumption. I'd be content with fuel of less than 20 litres per 100 kms and temperatures less than 105. I just can't see the temperatures staying reasonable though.

Yeh, I rag out a bit about Wholesale at the end. I think it is reasonable to have a little rant when the delivery timeframe was 3 months then became 6 months with little to no communication. Moreso because if you check out their FB page leading upto Christmas they were pumping conversions out. Made me feel like the poor old county fella not using them that could be pushed back ......

Anyhow, I've had my rant and that's where it'll end. I can say the “product" supplied, to date, is pretty good.
