Personally, I prefer a manual tranny when off-road. More specific control for a range of situations.


Come rock cawling with us in AZ sometime. I'll let you drive both a SWB and a Gen 2 LWB with automatics. On "moderate" trails. Then we'll see if you still prefer a clutch. Who knows, you still might, but I doubt it.

Dadrab, you just have a good transmission (I s'pose they made a few, from time to time) and good Karma.

The KM-145 manual transmission behind the 2.6l engine in a Gen 1 SWB clearly SUX as it came from the factory. My opinion, of course.
