: trans dmaxalliTech 03-01-2005, 05:05 PM Personal preference. I have/like my auto Cobra#3747 03-01-2005, 05:10 PM Just have to watch the dual mass flywheel issue with the manual trans, the latest flywheel release may take care of it, but was only realesed in Dec. So not a lot of time on any of them yet. samb 03-02-2005, 12:01 PM Advantage/ disadvantage of the two. GM, Ford. Thanks Blowby 03-02-2005, 01:44 PM Been towing w/ Auto on my Ford(stock for 3yrs, BTS 2-1/2yrs.). Very happy, gear selection is consistant but sometimes I kick it out of OD when climbing Vail pass just to keep the rpms up and EGT's around 1200. If your taking it to the track in the future an Auto is the way to go. marcdeluca 03-02-2005, 05:43 PM I think an automatic is so much better for getting heavy loads moving. The torque converter is they key. Backing a trailer up a hill while maneuvering is a killer on a clutch, a converter takes it w/no problem. Automatics are slightly less efficient, but the other advantages outweigh that in my opinion. samb 03-05-2005, 11:18 AM Sounds like auto is the way to go. Chevy or ford? | ||
