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

in high school i drove an 84 ranger with a 2.2L perkins diesel and a 4 speed manual. when i graduated i started looking for a new truck. i wanted a manual so bad i could taste it, but finacial reasons made me settle with the an auto, i hate this worthless hunk of S**T!!!!! it shifts hard, its going out, i cant shift when i want to, it likes to down shift whenever it F**KING feels like it. its slipping. oh yeah, and to repace it with a tranny that will handle what i want to do to it is $4500 for the tranny alone, not the installation or shipping included. if i could buy a truck all over agian, id go manual in the blink of an eye an fork out the extra cash for the tranny truck i wanted. after this catastophy ill never buy another automatic. thats my .02 cents on automatic trannys
