Auto. My wife refuses to learn how to drive stick. I was pleased that there is room for my leg to use the clutch. My shin kept hitting the the lower part of the dash with my TJ making it a real pain in the butt to change gears.

I can't decide, my TJ is a manual but for the JK, I'm 50/50 only cause my wife will be driving it and I still have to teach her how to drive, after 18 yrs she is finally going for her license. Auto would probably be easier, but I hate driving auto.

Stick or Auto...?
Guys and Gals.......
There are always those who love the manual trans and those who love stick...I have used both and I find running on the trails that I hit up here in the "Great White North" that the auto is the way to go. I ripped the 5speed out of my YJ and now run a 3 speed auto on the trails with a B&M sports ratchet shifter..
The Rubi I have ordered is going to have an Auto.
When you are almost upside down on a slope stuck on a rock and "between it and a hard place" and a large tree up against your door.... clutching can suck sometimes......well actually.... alot of times.
A great deal of people in the club I belong to are switching to auto. I think that If you are serious about offroading with "ease" that the Auto is the way to go. If you plan on taking it off the line faster than the modified Honda beside you , or running the highway and alot of town streets ? then the manual is the way to go. .....(then again we still have the hard liners in the club that swear by the manual for off road).
So I have a great deal of opinion with absolutley nothing solved....
Buy what you want and "Auto" has nothing to do with being "lazy"...................... It has more to do with simplicity.................
All the Best
