New owner checking in - S60 T5

[straightsix]

Hi chaps.

I’ve recently picked up a rather nice 2002 S60 T5 auto which I am enjoying burbling around in.

Have been reading lots of geartronic horror stories but am not 100% sure if mine is geartronic or a different type of auto box, is there an easy way to tell? Is one better or worse than the other? There are no issues with this one so far (touch wood).

I noticed a ‘clonk’ from the rear of the car when driving over less than perfect surfaces, any ideas what that might be would be gratefully received.

The automatic gearboxes in those are a weak point in an otherwise reliable car. The clonking over bumps is likely a bush or something simple, it won't be related to the gearbox as they are at the front and the car is fwd.
