I try to avoid automatic transmissions too. This time, I had to settle for an automatic. Did you know that if you have a manual transmission with over 100,000 miles on it you can't get any of the lube places to change out the oil? Something about stirring up the metal shavings. Sounds like stupid **** to me.
Machine shops must be toxic dumps then. Metal shavings are how they make a living.
Automatics are way better than they used to be. At least the myth about fuel efficiency part.
Used to be they were slushy, at idle in traffic, gear selection, etc. all added up to inefficiencies that could be compared to the difference in a manual. Drivetrains as a system these days are better for general public with auto-trannies.
Of course they're more complex and expensive and backyarders can't fix **** anymore...
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
