    I'll have to disagree on this one. I have a Cascadia with the Automated Manual 12speed. When I run it in manual and I slow down with the brakes, when I call for a gear drop the gear change is pretty smooth.

    I suppose they have improved since I drove one for a few months years ago. As long.as your happy with it that's all that matters.

    Millis transfer is pretty much going to all auto's. Even the trainers.

    So far the milage difference per my Qualcomm between a 8 speed Oscar 680 and a auto Cummins 680 is close to 2mpg. That's pretty big.

    I don't prefer for manual for reasons mentioed though.
     
    RYITO1122334455 Thanks this.

    Perhaps you should look to a different job? Not busting your chops here, at all, but if you want to make money, you're gonna have to run hard.
