None that I have ever heard of or come across.
Perfect Towing car as long as correct weights observed.

Just travelled to South of France with our outfit.
The caravan is a twin wheel Senator and weighs in at around 1450KG.
Our tourer delivers about 23/24 when towing circ.50mph
We too have Jatco box and everythings as smooth as a babies bottem when pulling in "D", never needed to use the manual settings at all.

Only annoying thing we have, is when reversing our unit, the dam reversing sensors sound all the time DOAH!

Thanks for the info. I asked because some car manufactures advise extra cooling for the auto box when towing.I am only towing a Pennine folding camper that weighs about 750KG.So I should be ok.:)

No problems just make sure your main cooling fan is fully operational on all speeds.;)
Older type = 3 speed
Later type = 2 speed
