Did the 5 Speed auto come in any of the Magna or Verada wagons?
Were any of the 4 speed tiptronic?
Also does anyone know what model was the last you could get a wagon with a manual 'box?

Thinking of getting late model wagon but would like to get at least a five speed auto if I can't have a manual.

A Sports wagon was produced, and I am sure it was also available in the TJ S2, meaning it would come with manual and the 5sp tippy. Look hot in black

sports wagons only came in 5 speed tippy, but im sure right up to tw there would be manuals availiable

I know for a fact that you can get TJ Sports wagons, which are 5-speed tiptronic, as has been previously mentioned. These will also have the Sports/VRX exhaust fitted too.
There wasn't a VRX TJ wagon to my knowledge, though.

If you don't want the sporty look and/or the louder exhaust, look at the Series 2 (Aug 2002 onwards) KJ Verada 3.5 wagons which have the 5-speed Tiptronic.

Should you come across (however rare they are) a KL/KW Verada wagon, of course they'll have the 3.5 5-speed tiptronic as well.

N.B. All wagons are "ei", there was no "xi" wagon ever made.

To date, I have not seen a TJ or TL/TW 5-speed manual wagon ; I'm not saying they don't exist, I just do not recall seeing one. If anything, they're very very rare.

I have seen a TH 3.5 manual wagon before on carsales a few months back, can't seem to find it there anymore.

The TH wagon was the last that was available with the 3.5L/manual gearbox combo

I just sold a TL 5 Speed manual wagon just b4 xmas at work so they are out there

Thanks for this info. Does anyone know if the five speed tippys are durable? Or havn't they been around long enough to tell yet?

Always a bit paranoid about auto boxes..

Must've been a VERY special (1 off) order as when i was working at MMAL there were no manual wagons made after the end of the TH series. Hence why the TJ/TL "VR wagon / V6 Sports wagon" was 5speed auto only where as the sedan had the option of 5speed manual or 5 speed auto..

Heres a write up on the TJ magna sportswagon:

You going against Jason's word eh?

I can back up Jason here, I have serviced and worked on many models of Magna and have never seen a Manual past the TH. I especially have never seen a Manual TL/W wagon, if they were about I would be damn tempted lol

Well, theres a 5sp tippy if that counts... TL-TW VR Wagon

The 5 speed Tippys are "stronger" then the 4 speed. As long as they have been serviced correctly (with a good flush and genuine mitsu ATF) at or prior to the required intervals they are very reliable. I have not heard of any "major" problems with maintained 5 speed tippys. Could be wrong but this is the place to ask!!
