manual tranny
 

im looking to buy a 7.3 would it be better to have the manual tranny or the automatic.i drive mainly freeway and town.i tow every now and then and go mudding once in a while.wat would be the best for all that.im shooting towards the manual

kind of a personal preference thing man. i'd rather have manual. if your muddin manual is better. i like the control overall of manual

Stock for stock, manual is the better option..

Start building power and you can't beat a built auto..

i just dont see the control in auto. i like controlling my truck instead of my truck controlling me

I like not losing boost when it shifts...:w2:

Like you said, personal preference.

yep i prefer manual in any vehicle i own. just me i guess. so ask yourself which one will you be more happy with

Id say manual i like the 6speed behind my 7.3

there is nothing like grabing gears

the only downfall to me is loosing boost between shifts so with my programer on i blow more smoke in the lower rpms untill i build boost again.

Dont get me wrong i love black smoke just dont like filling the intersection at low rpms.:bomb:

I live around Philly and I tend to tick people off as it takes awhile to get up to speed cramming gears. I usually go from 1st to 3rd to 5th as clutching this thing gets tiring.

All depends on your preference and I think mine is starting to shift towards an auto.

its totally personal preference, i like the manual because you tell your truck what gear its in and when its going to be in that gear
