Question EL ghia auto gearbox?

hey guys,

i am thinking of buying an EL Fairmont or EL Ghia next year.

i'm reseraching all the differences that the Ghia has over the monty like:

- tickford motor
- 3.45 LSD
- leather
- woodgrain
- premium sound standard

but something that i cant find is did the ghia get an upgraded auto transmission over the fairmont?

cheers

Danie

The same auto, maybe with the shift points slightly different for the Tickford motor.

Check out the brochure scans for the ELs. They will tell you otherwise. You've definitely been stooged if yours doesn't have one..
