Automatic vs Manual

We all should be happy at least we still have some kind of interaction with vehicle. I am more concerned about future where a grandson and Grand dad are completely lost on ground of conversation.

Cool dude you know grandpa I have wheeling package aka ( software as service) courtesy tesla / google and I think it's not inclining my Jeep in the best manner when I issue a command. How did it work for you grandpa.
Grandpa will hold what stick here...
 
You damn racist! Time for some critical race theory classes for you. Or as the CCP might refer to them, “re-education”.
I'm sorry.

Fuck manuals, AND automatics sorta sometimes only on Tuesday

All that aside.....

@Chris there is some really good wheeling around Hayden Lake Idaho. You need to come check it out and Join the club, you get a free haircut/uniform and everything. It's "nice".

I forgot to ask what the CCP is? Concealed Carry Permit?

Only when it's warm, I'm not sure I can handle the real cold anymore :LOL:

I have decided that I'm never owning a manual again unless it's in a sports car. That's the only place I really like them. As far as off-roading goes, I'm glad I'm making the switch to an auto.

The barrel of your issued rifle will keep you warm dude. As you dispense Commie manufactured ammo for "practice".



I like these Manual VS. Auto threads.

I can just picture the OP's next dinner with his dad......


OP-Hey Dad....

Op's Dad-Yes Son???

Op-I started a thread about manual VS. auto on TJ Forum....

OP's Dad-Nice son, what did the other Jeep enthusiasts say? They backed the manual, didn't they? heh heh.

OP-they said they wanna manually dismember me, and then started to talk about commies and Cult's in Northern Idaho.

I have both right now. One 6 speed, and one 4 speed auto. I take the auto hands down off road. Biggest advantage is hill climbs, with the manual you choose a gear and commit, you shift you lose momentum and get stuck. The auto just does what it needs to do. Manual is more fun on the street though.

4 cylinder or 6? Crawl gears or stock? What axles?

As an engineer I can tell you 1 boundary condition is not enough.

LS swap with an Atlas transfer case and 5.38 gears is different then 4 cylinder stock.

That said I love my manual. Maybe it's not as good at super hard stuff but I love the daily interaction with the vehicle. My mini is the same. I've memorized the power torque curves by feel. Regearing would change it and I'd relearn.
 
TLDR thread
Also unlike @Jerry Bransford i actually do know it all.

manual all the way!

automatics are for drunk pregnant women with neurological disorders who lack coordination.

manual = squat rack
Automatic = elliptical machine

also I’m really bored
 
Auto for going up the hill.
Manual for going down the hill.
Take my properly geared TJ with an automatic down the steepest hill you've ever done in 4Lo and Low using compression braking only and watch the Jeeps even with manual transmissions behind you start stacking up because you are going too slow for them.
