gimme a sec. and i'll find you like a 10 page thread about this lol..

 

Stick is more fun to drive, you have more control over the car, and also has less drivetrain loss from your engine to the wheels.

ahh there it is

driveterain loss (rwhp loss from bhp pretty much)
stick-15%
auto-20%

stick:
more fun
better for showing off exhuast
slight bragging rights
edge over autos unless its a built auto
bit strong with mods
doesnt need to be kept up as much(maintence)

auto:
easier to drive
......um is there anything else?
oh if you get it built up its more consist...after you do a few things to it though
yea..thats it
and you can hold your gfs hand which yea..thats oh so important..(jk)

 

ohh yea also more control like cricket said....


sorry didnt see the post

 

auto is for old and lazy people, and those that just cant drive stick

 

plus if you can drive stick you can drive anything

 

heres the ratio..

stick/manual- you got it for a reason...your badass and a man

auto- not gay or a pussy...but after you bought it and heard about manual...you wish u didnt have it

 

lol! im lazy but ive liked it when ive driven stick a couple tiimes.
u have all day when ur not driving to hold ur gf's hand.

hey hey, or a lady (that knows how to drive pretty damn well i might add)

 

a manual is just so much more fun. MY mom wanted me to get an auto so i could "get a feel for driving" now I'm bored. I want a manual. I love just goin through those gears.

my mom wanted me to get an auto so she could drive! HA! lol that didnt happen

 

Yeah I cant stand when I have to drive my husbands truck, he has auto, and Im like yeah ok, now what am I supposed to do lol

Besides being bored, definately dont have the control like I do with my stick

wen i drive an auto i always go to press the clutch...and theres nothing there lol..and i reach for the stick and grab nothing lol. its pretty boring..

 

what do u mean by control over the car

 

When I want to switch gears instead of that winding up sound automatics make.. I get to control my car. I can accelerate a hell of alot faster than an automatic. Get up to speed quicker.

And if I really want to swing the ass end around, I can because Im controlling it...

 

you have better control over the rpms. Say that you have a cruising speed that you like that on an auto is a shift point. You will constantly be upshifting and downshifting all the time, and thats a waste of gas. With a manual you can just upshift and lower the rpms, and save gas. You control when it shifts. Your car responds different at different rpm ranges. So you have a better overall control.

 

ok so there is the more technical answer lol probably more of what you were looking for..

 

Well I got a shift kit auto and I'll easy take a bad stick driver and keep even with a very good one. I like it because of the consistence of it and when I get my turbo ( I hope ) I'll keep boost better.

 

don't hope...get it.

 

But youd still rather have an auto?

 

But youd still rather have an auto?

Umm living in Raleigh yes very much so, and I have control over all my shifts just no clutch or anything to worry about. I have about a 200-500 rpm lag on my shifts but it is clean every time.

*cricket- I hope until I get a lot of money.

 

huh... that made me think about if i should get a manual transimission switched in or not from the sounds of it seems that stick is better.
Actually which is better auto or stick?

 

It all really depends on you and what setup you wanna go to. I pretty much have a bump shift which is I shift by moving through my gears on the auto shifter (1-2-3-D). If you wanna go to a turbo keep it auto, but if you want a 5 speed it is a lot more fun unless your in a lot of stop and go traffic then it gets annoying IMO. If you already have an auto look into a B&M Shifter and do what I did the auto - 5 speed switch will be hard and expensive.

 

alrite thanks for the help u guys and greenfaleen do u have any links to site that might sell those kinda shift kits

that is the shifter it comes with all you need. If you have an AOD transmission you will need this too
