IMO:
drag--auto
stick--everything else

5 speed you have control of the car.....automatic is automatically slow

I think im going to go with stick, i had one before and they are way more run to drive. do anyone have a idea of what i could be paying to do the swap? i looked up Tremec TKO 500 on CJ Pony parts and there going to $2165 not bad for a beefed up tranny.

Auto = for for consistency (drag racing)

stick = for everything under the sun

I believe in manual transmission over an auto most of the time. Shows real driving skills. Some require autos with high amounts of power....

Street cars should all have sticks... Autos are missing the fun factor lol
