Orv, I preffer the manual transmission for several reasons.
1. It's the type of transmission I learned to drive with.
2. I have burnt up several automatics.
3. I have never had a problem with a manual transmission.
4. A clutch every 150,000 miles or so is cheaper than a new or rebuilt automatic.
It could be that I just don't understand how the automatics work. No, that's not it. I have a certificate from Rocky Mountain Power and Equipment ( Stewart & Stevenson ) that says I know the Allison truck transmissions inside out. They work on the same principle, just much bigger. It must be the electronics that they all incorporate now
