Quote: dynotune440, Which do you prefer, manual or auto? Have you done conversions with both?
6 of one, half dozen of the other. it is what you prefer. The manual transmission will allow engine braking, and will yeild more mileage. The getrag 5 spd which I am using is a good transmission, but you have to keep it over full by 1 quart. The 518 will need to have a good cooler on it for it to last. like both combinations, the only thing I don't like with the manual is the gear split, too much gear seperation between 2to3 and 3to4 when pulling a big load.
