I prefer the manual tranny but appreciate the benefits of the auto. Having a diesel in an M37, I appreciate the selectable gearing going down more than up and harder trails and long grades like in Colorado. A guy from Michigan had a M37 w/6.2l diesel with an auto in it - he complained about descending on Black Bear Pass, wearing out his brakes.
Keith's Caddy auto powered M37 is sweet, runs like a champ. Except, last year he fueled her up with that stinky diesel stuff. OOOPPPPS. I always knew he had diesl envy.
