If I can’t get my Jeep in standard I will buy something else.

I can replace a clutch disk at home. Fixing a 10 speed auto, not so much.

I will never give up my manual transmissions.

NO COMPUTER CONTROLLED SLUSH BOX WILL EVER BE MORE RELIABLE OR CAPABLE TO REACT TO BAD DRIVING CONDITIONS THAN THE HUMAN BRAIN ... PERIOD.

ALL automatics rob the driver of the feel of driving, of being connected to the road.

Americans have become LAZY that is why manuals are slowly dying.

My Mariner from 2006 has a six speed in it.

That’s has been a great setup for me.

I don’t know how those suckers work, but you never notice a shift at all.
