Couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:

No kidding, my clutch is only used when the truck is leaving a stop light

I have heard from some guys that the new autshifts are a hell of an improvement over what they initially came out with years ago and they are a work of art.

I have no experience with them but I don't think I would hate them.

I heard the automatics were made so more women could be truck drivers......

You heard that from someone whom hates women truck drivers...or Women in general.:hellno::hellno::hellno::hellno:

Automatics have been around for 45 years, in trucks. Until the mid 90's they were mostly "Vocational" trucks. Mining and Oilfield trucks mostly. Once they reduced the transmissions design and weight, they started mass producing them for OTR equipment...to reduce driver abuse on the equipment.:thumbsup:

I agree with you --- the autoshift is a joke

Yes I have driven both and I will stick to my 18 speed or a 13 speed any day ---- but then what the hell do I know, I'm just a rookie, after all I've only been driving 30 years.
