Never took mine for serious mudplugging so I can't comment as I never felt the need to lift it etc. but as it was in standard form albeit with wide wheels it did fine.safari wrote: what are the pro and cons for a jimny with automatic gearbox for offroad purpose so with lift and bigger tyres?

I've not tried it but Rhino Ray has.

Your never in the wrong gear
Copes with different sized tyres without gearing change.
Torque converter does exactly what it's name implies
No clutch to fill with mud
I love autos for off roading
Cons:
Jimny autos like fresh new fluid regularly
Engine braking downhill is limited, to you have to lock it in first.

I just love autos but Martin, tell us about lifts in Jimny autos. Easy or not?

My Pajero is auto and in the snow seems unrivalled and across fields is superb.

Very good. All I have is LSD.

(It is the only time I have ever messed with the shifter in an auto too, I locked it in 1 once to trundle down a slope that I could never have walked down)
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
