Subject: Re: Sensonic gearbox


If the sensonic is similar to the Geartronic currently found in the Volvos, it is not what you described. It is an automatic designed to allow "manual" upshifting only. The Geartronic is not any better at down shifting than any other automatic. I found the Geartronic was best left in Drive.
