CNKS: The part I like with standard transmission, it gives you much better control up hill and down. Automatics also rob you of a lot of power. I didn't realize just how much until I changed my 6.2 diesel from automatic to 4 speed manual. There was a hill near my home and if you started up that hill with that 6.2 automatic at 50 mph, by the time you reached the top truck was down to 30 mph. When I installed the 4 speed manual, I went out to that hill for a try. Same 6.2 diesel started up the hill at 50 mph and topped the hill at 50 mph, and I was still in high gear.

I had always known manual transmission was more efficient, but I really had no idea the difference was that great. I have since spoken with others that experienced the same. The other item I noticed, my automatic had been overdrive and with 4 speed manual I lost the overdrive. I actually had a slight improvment in fuel economy.
