Auto vs manual ? pros & cons ??

[Tuffbroadhead]

Auto all the way.........Its really not about pros/cons and all about preference...

I can get you hooked up at Meador Jeep chrysler if ya want. Its in South Ft. Worth. a bit of a drive for you.

Thanks but kind of have one eyed that's an 2000 auto with a few extras at a good price.

A 2000 in good shape will bring 10,000 real easy..

[Big Daddy]

That's the asking price. Hard top, rhino lined, lift, etc.

jeep auto's have always been pretty stout tranny's...

however, I have come to perfer my manual tranny's... only thing that will really wear out if you drive reasonable is the clutch... I have had way to many auto tranny's fail on me in my time.

although if I were to get a newer jeep it would be for the wife so it would be auto (she wants one)...

living in the city I choose auto.

[Wudstix]

Manual fan myself, gives me something to do when I'm driving. Jeep trannys are tough.

I like the precision control I have with a manual. I loved it for rock crawling. A lot of people say auto is easier for off roading, but when I'm on a steep grade and pushing over a rock, I want to be in complete control of the power going to the wheels. Don't want a surprise down/up shift or anything else. I will admit I threw in a hand throttle on the shifter so I could use the clutch and brake and throttle all at the same time on steep grades.

It's all personal preference though. I learned to drive in a manual. My first 4 cars were manual. My jeep was manual. Now I drive an automatic truck. Nice in traffic, but if I were offroading, I'd want a manual again.

If for just in woods I'd get a stick if for highway I'd get an auto

[Bonesplitter]

Manual.

[quackerback]

if i get a jeep i want an auto. i would be getting one for the mud riding and just riding around with the top down. i understand the rock crawling and stick thing though.

[Javelin]

I would go Manual 5speed.
BTW I have a 99 manual with 4" lift hard top sahara 6cylinder engine great shape, drive it everyday for sale $9,000 it has 33x12.50x15 Cooper STT tires with 6K miles on them
