I need some opinions as Im resurching a possible future runner.
I personally have always had a manual in all my 27yrs of driving, I know some auto's have been improved and I see more and more auto's for the trail.
Im prolly going to look into a 1st gen but I want the 3rd gens opinion as well even though there engine turns the auto so much better.
What Ive seen of most runners of 1st and 2nd gen is that better power to ground from best to worst is V6-Man, 4-Man, V6-Auto and 4-auto last, But I also know you can build a really good 4cyl and get more horse and gas milage over the V6 but still a little lower on the torque.
The reason Ive never had auto's is I hate the slippage feel and the delay that when an auto cant make up its mind to shift up or down in alot of moments and there always dog from to low of a powerplant.
Also personally what do you think of the differences between the early 1st and the later auto used in the 2nd gens.
I think Im getting tired of the shifting of a stick but when I had to drive an auto I still like to work the console shifter (Not to confuse with the collumshift or treeshift).
Edit,, Nvm on the 1st and 2nd gen versions autos, I thought there was a difference but the tech sheets I just found show only 1 mdl was used from 88-95, Could have sworn I had seen a 87 V6 before, My bad.
