Well i know i am getting old a grouchy and in my life time i have had four automatic's in two cars and two pick ups and ya know what i hated them all . The two best auto's were in a 71 340 Duster and the C 6 that was in my 73 F250 4X4 . Now as for my wifes cars they have been all autos except the first one and it was a 4 speed in a 67 Mustang convertible . Ask her what she liked the best and it sure ain't a slush box. Myself i would much rather R&R a clutch and pressure plate then rebuild a slush box . Yes i can rebuild a slush box but why would i want to when simple is better in my book. plus with a standard ya get better fuel mileage . and as far as i am concerned better fuel mileage along with much better hold back when towing. There is no coming up against the stall speed of a converter and not being able to break out a load . The two main reasons that there are so many slush boxes out there is that one people today don't know how to or don't want to learn drive something with a clutch and MANUALLY celected gear celection and two that is what the dealers shoved down your throat and try feeding you the B/S that they are better . Oh and i forgot that We have become LAZZY . I have been looking for a decent USED Dodge Dakota club cab 4x4 WITH A SPEED , In my area all that you find is auto's Don't want a auto . I want a stick shift as i can still manualy celect the gear that I WANT TO USE , the only area that i have seen any of any amount is in , now get this in New York State . When i worked in the car dealer ships i moved from a mechanic to parts manager of a vary large Chrysler Plymouth dealer ship an at the time i became the largest MoPar high performace parts stocking dealer for our district We got a new General manager and he started ordering in nothing but auotmatic dusters road runners and cuda and GTX's our sales on them started to drop like a stone and he could not figure it out why we had all these car not selling but the two other chrysler plymouth dealers sales on the muscles cars we up . At the department heads weekly meeting it was brought up and i told him what the young guys were telling me why they bought rom the opther dealers is they want a four speed and we did not have one on the lot. but they came to me for there goodie's BECAUSE I HAD THEM and the others did not STOCK them . Today the dealers only stock the slush boxes because today vary few can drive a stick or they don't want to be bothered with a standard . So we go to a dealership and it is like going to Micky Dee's this is what you get and you will like it as you oly get it our way not your way now just what color do you want that in SIR.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
