Then I guess I have one "Girl's Truck" and definitely one MAN's truck. MANual brakes, MANual steering, MANual windows, MANual choke, MANual transmission.

Re: Do you prefer an auto or a 4 speed in your Chevy truck?

I have a 700r4. I wanted to cruise without the fuss of shifting in traffic and I didn't want to climb back under it to change a clutch when the truck is finished and i'm enjoying it.
People can muster up any silly joke they want about automatics, it doesn't bother me. I've got some choice opinions about crap I see on these trucks all the time, sometimes the most and only lovable thing about them is their manual trans!

Re: Do you prefer an auto or a 4 speed in your Chevy truck?

Lots of the comments are that age pushes us towards the automatic. I drive three on the tree and love it. The knees hurt, but I love it.
I prefer to keep things stock but if the knees give out, I may need to switch over to an automatic...

P.S. 2017 Corvettes do NOT offer a standard transmission! The automatics today, shift much better than any person can.

I'm pulling the 4 spd out of my '67 and installing a T400.
