BTR's four-speed automatic — in the Maserati 3200 GT Automatica, and before it the Quattroporte IV.
It is a conventional torque-converter automatic, which is worth saying on a car that was launched as a manual: the automatic 3200, the GTA, was a separate version, unveiled at the Geneva show in March 1999 and delivered from that June — so a 3200 GT's gearbox is settled by which of the two it is, not by its year.
Its other application is the Quattroporte IV, in both the 2.8- and 3.2-litre versions. It is listed today among the four-speed automatics of Drivetrain Systems International, which is the name to search under for anything more on the unit itself.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
