b&m? I always find it funny when people have to have a manual, manuals tend to be slower in the quarter (unless your a pro driver) have more maintrenance(gotta change the clutch, and supposed to change fluid every so often also) not as strong (of course there are exceptions)

I have to have a manual, but im special so its kool right arch? I really dont think they are more maintenance. Theyre 10 times simpler, so even if they were a little more maintenence the simplicity makes up 4 it.

lets see change fluid in trans every 30,000 miles, change clutch at 100,000 miles with bearings, and a few misc parts compared to changing fluid and filter every 30,000 miles

I will go with him a manual is a lot more simple!! I would say if I had to I could rebuild a manual but not a auto. and you have more control of when to shift, and when not too. which my transmission has a hard time deciding. :banghead:

100,000 on a performance clutch? probably not, and 30,000 is fluid change on both
