For Rapids Owners, A Question

Do these have a fuse 22 that opens the exhaust or is this basically controlled by the Sport button? Also, doesn't the Rapide have a torque converter rather than the automated manual.of the Vantage? Less problems with clutch wearing out.?

It has a fuse for the exhaust; Sport does not open the exhaust up. Not sure which number it is, but I have the remote valve control installed. The Rapide has a traditional torque converter ZF Transmission installed as a trans-axle.

Thanks for your reply. Just brought my car home yesterday and jumped in. It's still fuse 22 for a 2012 Rapide. It's in the right side of the engine compartment.facing forward. I'm hoping that the torque converter auto trans is more durable than my Vantage's automated manual Sport Shift 1. That is, where longevity of the clutch is concerned.
