I love to drag race but have to agree, auto's are for drag racing, manuals are for towing.

By the way, my tranny was completely rebuilt 20K miles ago with new mainshaft, secondary shaft, bearings, synchros, seals, etc. My tranny is overfilled 1 qt with the recommended syntorq synthetic gear oil. Tranny has been smooth as silk until a few months ago when I started drag racing at the track.
That might be enough influence for me to keep my auto.
