i can tell you're new :<) ... the automatic is a far more reliable trans than the 4spd.... in a year or so when your 3/4 slider hub cracks in your 4spd, you'll wish you woulda left the automatic in there... you say the 4 speed has more performance? not really..these arent exactly drag racers :<) and actually both the 4spd, and Auto have equal cruising performance at max speed. anyway, welcome to the list ! chris |
