Auto's are superior to manuals because they supply constant torque the entire pass, manuals don't when you press the clutch to change gears. They were designed to hold stock power and will usually sheer gears under higher amounts of stress. The manual seems to shed the lining off the third synchro in GM and Dodge apps for some reason, regardless of the oil used. Both have pro's and con's, drag racers prefer autos and sled pullers seem to prefer manuals. I prefer auto's because you can build boost before the start of either event.
