Manual or Automatic Transmission?

it is better to have a manaul
autos are a little pricey to fix I have heard.

 

i would want a manual

 

i would think and auto would be great in the city.

but id think id cost ya big for that overhaul

 

Unless you have a dedicated special haul, go with a 9 or10 manual. Your choice of auto's is an Allison, which is just like your car but overheats a lot and needs constant rebuilds; or the autoshift manuals which just float the gears for you but still have a clutch which means you're still pushing a clutch in stop and go traffic.

 

The automated shift transmissions are getting better but they can be as someone said pricy to repair. I would prefer manual, at least a 10 speed direct, no overdrive. I haven't driven any automated transmissions yet, but firendss of mime do and they say they can take them or leave them.

 

to repair i think truckers should take a class in transmision work. or basic diesle machanac

 

i'm partial to the 18 speed. it is what I learned on

I prefer to shift my own gears thank you
