auto. the lady likes to wheel, and she can't hit the brakes withoput a 2x4 strapped to the pedal. no way she could handle a clutch too

TH 400 or SM 465 and a 205 are the only options I'd consider.

I perfer manual so thats what my rig is.

I like my 700R4, but I think after I get back home next year I might put in a reverse manual valve body from TCI, the one with engine braking. And put in a floor shifter. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i had a turbo400(B&M Shift kit)/NP203/3.73's and 33's and it was good.. open rears, loads of miles on the motor... no problems wheelin... but when I went to SMC465/NP205/4.56's I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! the same hills where my truck would chug with the auto by mashin the throttle.. was totally different with the manual... way more control.. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I say it depends on what you wanna drive.. not what others want you to drive... take a auto through where your gonna wheel then try a manual and see if you want the extra work.. shifting isnt no big deal to me... hell eventually I wanna get a NV5600 for my truck... creeper gear like my SMC465 but overdrive = 6 gears!!! /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
