How many miles were on your auto tranny. I am preying everytime I put it in drive that something slips, dirt comes up, blocks something, something snaps, and the tranny slides all the way down Baxter street towards Sanford Stadium ... BUT NOOOOOO ... it has to keep shifting correctly.

I agree ,any car i buy has to be manuel even my winter beater.
Traffic is no bother i cant stand that disconnected feel of a auto,when i get in a auto it feels terrible to me .I always cant stop from pressing my foot down where the clutch should be

When I drive my parents car I feel like I am just riding in it and steering.
