Auto or manual - Competition Diesel.Com

Well its time to decide what transmission to go with. Basically a 2.6 build and street truck.

The experience i had in my 6.4 with a southbend dd 3850 pretty much ruined me for wanting to drive a pulling clutch on the road. Are there any better clutches out there for nv4500s?.

Right now i already have the 47rh and was going to just do a full billet build with manual valvebody.

This will be a street driven truck once in a while with a s400 2.6 charger from ed.

Just looking for opinions on what way to go. I dont mind manuals but a clutch for pulling is almost impossible to drive on the street and i would still want to drive it on the street. The manual would be cheaper than the 47rh. but would a 47rh be worth it and would it hold up?

Can't go wrong with a purpose built auto but I'm biased.

Manuals that hold power suck to drive, autos on the other hand make it fun.
