The AW70/71 in my 760 (again the same box) is lovely and smooth now i've given it a few part changes of ATF and for the most part, changes are imperceptible (up and down) unless either i am hoofing it (even then fairly smooth) or playing jack rabbits on the loud pedal.

Just seemed liked a real delay in gear changes. Compared to the modern 6 and 8 speeds autos it just felt wrong. I'm also used the M90 box in mine. One mans meat as they say !

I've not driven the modern 6, 8 or 9 speed autos but i did outgun a new Merc that had one, he was going into 3rd as mine was shifting into 2nd about 35-40mph a damned sight quicker than his thing went from 2nd to 3rd and then i just left him like he'd engaged reverse!

No, why?
He was on the same roundabout as me, trying to show off in his brand new Merc with its loud exhaust and after giving him a head start because the wheels spun a bit, i still went past him like he was stood still because his changed gear twice while mine only changed once and a lot quicker than either of his gearchanges. This was 2-3 years ago now and i doubt he's got over the embarrassment of a 23-24 year old car outgunning him so easily yet. Nearest Asda car park was about 3 and a bit miles up the road through at least two more roundabouts.
