Elvis1709 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have just ordered a new Autotrail on a Comformatic 3 Litre Automatic Fiat Ducato. I am conerned about the number of postings regarding the juddering and bumping when reversing uphill with this chassis. Has anyone got a new Motorhome with the 3 Litre Automatic chassis, or knows if the 3 litre Auto has the same problems as the manual gearboxes? I am nervous about proceeding with this order and would appreciate any views about the Automatic. Steve [Elvis1709] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, it seems the Comfortmatic has escaped the dreaded reverse judder and it appears that it is the manual variants that have the problem.

BarnacleBob Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 5000 miles so far and only praise for a very good gearbox and gear change system. I am very happy with mine. BarnacleBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
