Super TestCar reviews - Peugeot - 406 - SV sedanPeugeot modelsTransmission15 Feb 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON THE 406 SV won't be seen often with a manual transmission, with the majority of cars expected to be automatics. In fact, the five-speed is available by special order only. The electronically controlled 4HP20 automatic offers four speeds and two operational modes - normal and sport - but does not really do justice to the engine. The manual allows the engine to work in its best operating range. Did you know?The V6 uses a higher-torque 4HP20 automatic transmission than four-cylinder petrol models, while the manual gearbox uses a heavier, 500 gram counterbalance to minimise noise and vibrationAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
