i felt the same way till i saw the light!

i learned to drive on a manual, in fact out of sixteen vehicles only 4 have been autos. my dd acura is a 6 spd manual for heavens sake! my old xjuggy was even a manual... gasp!

now that i have a 4speed auto with switches for the gears i have not missed my manual for a second and that suprised me to be honest, but it's true.

4 cylinder jeeps and especially toyotas (sorry camel) aren't allowed in this conversation lol sorry

 

haha i love it. we can choose to multi-task, for you manual losers it is mandatory!

 

.... handfree kit for the phone, perfusion of a mix of burrito/dr pepper AND ice cream hanging from the roof, that leave plenty of hands for smoking a cigarette mess with the radio and shift.... that is how it is done.....

 

Lol!

 

If you can manually select the gears in an auto, then it's not as bad as a full auto. I don't like my vehicle deciding what's best for us.

 

I can select gears in mine, overdrive off button, D,2,1

 

No 3? I like 3

 

Do u blend all that up before you leave the house or did you install a blender for making smoothys on the AM drive to work? Lol

 

I don;t do it, I buy it at wal-mart.... they have everything you need at wal-mart...

 

LMAO no 3, 3 is like the friend that always wants you to do stuff for them and then when you need them most they are never around, thats ok I got other friends 3, meet 1, 2, and 4,they can kick 3's a$$

 

lol i bet if 3 could get 1 on his side they would own 2,4 & 5... after all they are more powerful and 5 is kind of a *****.

on a separate note i have 4,3,2,1. granted the jeep does a decent job picking gears but the drop from 2-1 and the whole 5k rpm shift from 1-2 can get irritating. a couple switches and a half hour later, problem solved

 

youre right 5 is usually a pu$$y in any vehicle but 1 will give 3 a run for his money, not very fast but man o man does he have some low grunt I wouldnt mess with 1

you have a 5k rpm shift from 1-2? damn that would suck

 

Lol. Yeah 5 doesn't get seen much in my rig. Unless I'm in the rear case and we hit an open area on the trail. If I can stop I will to switch to the stock case. With my setup I have 20 choices for forward and 4 reverse.

 

yeah but you still have 80 hp (at sea level)











i'm just cracking your *****, i like yotas. i had a 4cyl and low gears in my old ride and it was sweet but very different from a 6cyl with higher gears. sometimes wheel speed is necessary. but like anything else there are pro's and con's big time

 

Hehe I know Though LC Engineering rebuilt the motor in my Toyota. And I got the turbo tranny too. I keep finding out more about my rig. My friends know more about it then I do. Since I was on the road, I didn't get to see it built or really get to know the builder. The guy who built it is a Toyota mechanic and knows his stuff. A good friend to one of my friends, I really don't know him. Just one of those "Hey so and so is selling his rig for cheap. You should buy it" Lol. I did and alot of people were mad cause they wanted it.

And I upgraded for a samurai. It was a big jump for me lol
