Bad news for manual lovers

Don't get all butt hurt, I was saying if YOU CANT, drive a manual. And IMO you have complete control over the truck driving manual, you do not with a automatic transmission

 

Why not a automatic manual transmission with a switch to toggle modes

 

How do you figure you have less control in an auto vs manual?

This outta be good...,

 

If your brakes are broken you can't downshift to first to slow down,duh.

 

Huh? Are you serious?

 

Like totally!It works ,go try it!

 

How fast are we going with broken brakes?

Please stay out of a commercial vehicle!

 

To be real for a moment .This is actually something people do in normal cars (buddies a mechanic) and it makes me really question there logic "I can't afford a $100 break repair so I'm gonna destroy my transmission ,surely that will be cheaper!"

 

Another auto hater who has no clue what how it all works.

 

I would say because a computer is making the decisions.....even in manual mode there still must be some convoluted complicated electronic mechanism thingy that is doing the shifting. And a quick search of this forum will yield many posts about broken down trucks because of the trans. And all of this for what.........
