No, If a heavy vehicle licence upgrade is completed in an Auto gearbox you cannot drive a manual(synchro) or road ranger (non-synchro) gearbox of that class. If you successfully complete a licence in a road ranger gearbox (non-synchro) HC you can drive all gearbox levels of HC, If you successfully complete a licence in a manual gearbox (synchro) HC you can drive manual & auto HC’s, If you successfully complete a licence in a auto gearbox (non-synchro) HC you can only drive an auto HC. However if you completed a HR licence previously in a road ranger/manual gear box you have already passed that competency so therefore the answer to this question would be yes. (If unsure discuss with accustom staff via phone)
