Ok ba 4x4 A/Ts for Serious Off-Roading?

Ok po ba 4x4s na A/T for serious off-roading? Curious lang po.

Thanks.

How serious are we talking here?

Muds and rocks? Or the usual route and trails we occasionally traverse?

Offroad trails nowadays are dry with some stream portions which A/Ts can handle well. While on rainy seasons it is better to be equiped with M/Ts.

A/T's are more tolerant with water since they are sealed by nature. Yung breather tube na lang ang aalalahanin mo. With a M/T, water can enter the breather tube, the top (where the shiftlever enters) and the bellhousing when you step on the clutch midstream (a big no no).

Sa mga Mitsubishi, considered tougher ang A/T kaysa sa 5-speed M/T na gamit ng mga Pajero. Just ask the www.outdoorwire.com fellows how many M/T's they have broken in off-roading. The matics are virtually bulletproof.

Btw, I think I broke my tranny na. It makes some horrendous sounds already. Maybe I'll open it up when I graduate from my summer classes in automotive repair.

A/Ts are generally preferred for off-roading (yung mga gusto ng M/T personal preference na lang yun, more challenging)... no clutch to worry about while rock crawling on a precarious cliff side, and the clutch is a part that is prone to damage...

hmmm... saka masmasarap talaga ang matic kahit saan..!!

kiper18,

naah... mas masarap ang manual pag bukas ang daan at maraming kurbada :D

ano ba pinag-uusapan dito, Transmission or Tires?

AT = Automatic & All-Terrain Tires
MT = Manual & Mud Terrain Tires

so... :?:

craw transmission ata,di rin ako sure.

tanong lang talaga bang mas madali ang A/T sa off roading,panokung yung ka2lad ng ginawa natin sa urban offroading na iaakayat sa bato di ba mahirap estimate yun?

tanong lang ulit kc yung sa pajero ng papa ko meron dun button na pagpinindot mo lalabas sa may speedometer na power or pagpinush mo backwards lalabas naman hold,para san kaya yun?

jay crew,
hehehe sige bahala na! sagot na kung may masasagot! :D

anyway, kung tires, shempre MTs, kung transmission, MT pa rin pala. kasi mas kontrolado mo ang speed eh... pero kung mas madalas mong gagamitin as a daily driver ang ride and bihira lang for offroad, pwede na rin matic...
