as long as you dont add much power to them, there are ok. a good TC and VB will hold 400+ though.

a manual is deff stronger. and cheaper to upgrade the cluth than it is to upgrade trans in an auto. clutch ur lookin at around 600 for a big single disk to 1500-2000 for a dual disk that will hold all u can throw at it. for an auto, ur lookin at bout 2 grand in just the TC and VB. to get a full billet trans ur lookin at 6k+
