Seen issues raised regarding the 416 chassis as opposed to the 6 tonnes chassis
What are the problems
Is this a completely different build state or is it a weight problem for loading equipment etc.
What is the 'dry weight' of an unladen S280
As others have said, I think the S820 is too big to be on a 416 chassis. Apart from reduced payload (MAM of 4.6 tonnes) the running gear is lighter duty. In addition to the issue of road brakes, the parking brake on a 416 is manual but on a 616 it is an air brake and much more effective.
Concerning gears, I'm surprised the full auto box is not available on a 416. Our Starline is on a 316 (3.8 tonne) chassis and it has a full auto 5-speed box.

Manual, True Auto and SprintShift was available on 2xx 3xx and 4xx Series.
The 616 was only available with Manual or True Auto.
So yes, you can get 4 series Sprinters with a torque converter auto
