What is everyones opinoin seeing as how Brenden just smoked his 7th trans
manual all the way! When I hit the gas all the power goes to the wheels! There is no slipping and heat build up. By the way my 92 cummins just blew the tranny. It should be out of the shop in the next day or so...$3400 later. WTF? POS auto.
I like em both, just depends on the situation. Smurf told me you need a big cooler and a good build and its all good for an Auto. The auto's are great in technical stuff, look at comp rigs now days! Manuel's are Bullet and Dummy proof. Don't know why Bren kill's em but my rig is heavier and has bigger meats and it's fine so far! Thanks smurf!!
Gee, i would like to vote but my auto dosen't really work yet ....Hmmmmmmmm
Stan you should have ran the 909 or the 999
Depends on what your doing. Like Big Rob said the autos are good for the more tech parts of the trails and for comps. But what is the fun in that! Personally I will stick with the manual trans!
The have only driven manuals on the trail...So i don't know anything else::) My buggy we are building has auto and I'm a bit hesitant. I guess we'll see. People say i will like it better.
As of now..manual
yup always been manual and new rig is gettin an auto, kinda curious how it will be, it seems to be the trend.
I wanted to have a manual...but the auto was free
well price is right, what trans??
It's a T400........I got a pretty STaK to go with
my friend has a Scout on 42's and it has an auto trans and it slips all the time. im not sure what trans he is running but in his case it sucks.
I think it depends on the situation as well....I have a manual in my rig, but my BF aka t-carp tells me i should switch to an auto, which we will see. But i think with manual its more of a challenge for me and i love that. If you are competing though, i would deff go with auto.
I like having an auto, so i dont spill my beer...
I think the first one was hurting because of no cooler, Original since 1978 and that was when i had major cooling issues with everything, so she ran at 250+ most of the time, and i changed her out before it dumped on me. wasnt exactly dead.
Autos are easy/simple, and now with the doubler, i love the damn thing. and yes 7 trannys in 10 years... lol... Erkel says i'm the only one he knows who has broken a gas peddle... woohoo!!!
Drive it like you stole it!!!
I hate my auto.... I would have swapped it out already if I had any ambition to change what's still working.
whoa... I'm a moderator too? Thanks for all the stars travis.
Yall better not f-ck around or I'll do some schnazzy intarweb sh!t cause I have supreme power
haha hookin ya up buddy! Did you ever figure out the torque converter you have?
hahah.... yea it's like a 200 rpm converter lol
I'm going to put the hot 350 in there w/ a 1500 stall. full manual valve body. art carr or sillyfab shifter.
that should make it fun
Ive ran both on the trail. . But the comparison needs to be stock auto vs. stock manual. I think the stick just gives far better control in all situations. Ive also driven Jimmy's TJ with a built T400 on the trail. Reverse manual valve body with compression braking does get it though. He had like a geezer in that tranny. Where I have like 100 in my stick.
Towing love my stick, even commuting in traffic it isn't that bad. The one thing though that I dont like is these antique truck 4spd suck for banging through gears. A NV4500 with an aftermarket short through stick would be sick on the trail and and in the sand and snow. Wish I had the scratch to through one in the heep.
True, I just drive a stick for work and am tired of shifting. I do have 10 gears though. You think your 4sp is slow shifting
We shall see all I am going to do is a manual valve body and a 1500 stall converter in my C4. I just hope its not a mistake. Oh well my old trans is already gone
mark my words you'll be stoked!
No shit i used to drive a two speed rear end at work and i would always get lost around 4hi or 5low
I know a lot of these posts are from earlier but same as everyone else...it's all on preference i would say....my pops loves the autos and put im in all the land cruisers he's done.....but I love my choice of gears with my duel cases.......
I have my first auto (t350) my fucking calfs are weak now. An I stoped spilling shit. everything here is slipery and wet. I like being able to stomp it quickly. to many levers drive me bat shit.
ltr Pat
Im down with the auto...but I like both and have wheeled both. My current set up a TH400 with a 203/300 doubler. Love it so far. Seems to have a gear for everything. Plus the tranny is on its 8th wheelin season with no issues at all. With the new 454 I ended up going with a 2500 stall because of the cam. If I did not have the doubler it would be too loose but in double low its sweet.
I got my new tranny in a few days ago, shifts great, feels smooth, and i guess it has a 900 stall converter. I havnt put it in low low yet because i have a frozen brake caliper and can't bleed it. and its been raining... we'll see what happens...
I had a manual in the TJ and loved it. The Honcho has an auto, so when it is done, we will see how I like it.
GD retard. I could have saved you a couple grand.manual all the way! When I hit the gas all the power goes to the wheels! There is no slipping and heat build up. By the way my 92 cummins just blew the tranny. It should be out of the shop in the next day or so...$3400 later. WTF? POS auto.

I saw what you did to it at the Expo to it. I put a time bomb in Goodbys.
Fuck that, C6 all the way.i need a trans built
No 6 is to much only 4, cause I already got it and it is shorter and I ain't got no room!!
Mine is fine, Goodby will find a way to smoke his though, even without a time bomb!...lol
wow cheeks sure got rapedauto all way , as long as you are runin some t case gears and decent axle gears you'll love it , ol boy stan just needs a 4 to1 in a 300 and that thing would be sick
i just rebuilt my 700r4, should i stick with it when i do my SAS. Its auto but it pulls strong. if biggie is runnin auto in his gm i aint to skurred.
but a certian smurf built his
Yep. Robs has 5 pinion planets, beast drive shell, hd sprag, red eagle hi perf clutches, manual shift, 13 vane pump, etc.
........................................
i got the 5 pinion planets and the beast drive shell as well, the dude at do it right in the heights did it for me. Ive mashed it and it holds it own.
if you drive an automatic your proabably a fag with push button 4 wheel drive.

AUTO is my vote.
needing to move the feet to shift kinda interupt the BJ and the shifter wood get in the way. Could never figure out how to drink a beer, hold the wheel and shift.
