Torana Trimatic tests three speed auto with six engine
An Australian Torana with a 2250cc six and the new three speed Trimatic automatic is tested. The transmission uses a hydrodynamic torque converter and planetary gear train offering smooth shifts and a wide torque range. While acceleration tops out in top gear, the car struggles on hills due to a high final drive, though automatic passing is helped in two gear settings. The SL four door, priced at 2959 dollars, features enhanced trim and options including disc brakes and a transistor radio.
