According to your car towing specs, you are OK for 500kg unbraked and 1000kg braked. You should be OK with all Conway TT units. Or Cabanon etc.

I would not tow with a small automatic unless it has an oil cooler fitted to the transmission, most dealers insist on this if they fit a towbar.

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!
