i dont like manual transmissions in large vehicles and/or trucks. nowadays, ill keep them to my sports cars that get driven only occasionally. nothing sucks more than sitting in heavy traffic with a manual. been there done thatt. i was looking at used TJs and could have gone either way but with the big 4 door JL, manual wasnt even a consideration. plus, the mrs. said has to be auto and i had to get her seal of approval to buy it so....
the auto in the JL is amazing. we just sold an Explorer Sport with 6sp auto and this JL trans is much nicer. im impressed. i have a gt500 (manuals only) and there have been many times i wished it had a nice auto. that's what makes Hellcats so appealing. my good friend just sold his 6M C6 and got a new Z06. i talked him into the auto since he sits in traffic a lot. he was really reluctant too but now he says he is sooo happy he did. he said the new auto in the Zs is amazing.
but i totally get people who prefer manuals only. especially if you really like off roading and prefer man-handling the stick. im not looking for a challenge, in my jeep. just put it in D and cruise, even off road.
