Yesterday I heard something very weird from my Polo's mechanic. He said that all engines above 3 litres need to have automatic transmissions, if you don't want to replace the clutch and transmission every 10000 miles.
I think it sounds absolutely ridiculous and stupid, but maybe I'm wrong? He said that when I mentioned I was thinking of buying a 305 Firebird with a 5 speed manual.
So is it true or not - larger engines fair better with automatic transmissions?
