Okay, well i wasn't sure about where to put this topic, but i assume "driveline" has something to do with gearbox? Anyhoo, how come the Auto Falcons are rated at towing 2200kg, but the manual is limited to 1200kg?

Sorry, i lack good knowledge of cars. Oh and i found this on the internet when i was wondering about the weight of an EL:

EDIT: "GEARBOX, Suspension, Brake and Driveline Workshop"... I think i'm going blind at the age of 16 :'(

Because Torque converter in an auto can put up with a LOT of friction.

and

There would be warranty and clutch issues!

and

The poor old T5 would most likely Break when trashed when draging another anchor rather than itself.
