Stick or Auto...?
Guys and Gals.......
There are always those who love the manual trans and those who love stick...I have used both and I find running on the trails that I hit up here in the "Great White North" that the auto is the way to go. I ripped the 5speed out of my YJ and now run a 3 speed auto on the trails with a B&M sports ratchet shifter..
The Rubi I have ordered is going to have an Auto.
When you are almost upside down on a slope stuck on a rock and "between it and a hard place" and a large tree up against your door.... clutching can suck sometimes......well actually.... alot of times.
A great deal of people in the club I belong to are switching to auto. I think that If you are serious about offroading with "ease" that the Auto is the way to go. If you plan on taking it off the line faster than the modified Honda beside you , or running the highway and alot of town streets ? then the manual is the way to go. .....(then again we still have the hard liners in the club that swear by the manual for off road).
So I have a great deal of opinion with absolutley nothing solved....
Buy what you want and "Auto" has nothing to do with being "lazy"...................... It has more to do with simplicity.................
All the Best

I used to have a'68 Chevy stepside pickup that had a manual tranny. It had been converted from three on the tree to a floor shifter....I miss driving that thing sooo bad, so for me there was no other choice...six speed or nothing at all.

I would have perferred an auto, but with large tires, and towing a small trailer it would really have to be tough. I know towing the trailer with my TJ was rough with my 5 speed
