According to my local Volvo dealer an increasing proportion of V70s are now being supplied with Geartronic auto transmissions rather than manual boxes (and this is in UK, not north America!)
All he could tell me is that it's an auto box with with manual over-ride but he hadn't a clue about what is inside in terms of torque converter (or not), planetary gear sets, multi-plate clutches etc. Wikipedia is *some* help, but not a lot.
Can anyone point to a decent on-line reference with a full description and sectioned diagrams of the innards, etc.?
