It's not too bad, my 94 Explorer Limited is an auto too. I wanted a stick but sheesh they are hard to come by. My girlfriend doesn't mind the auto so much though.

I can clearly see what people mean when they claim the stock gearing is too high. This has slighly over sized tires and I wouldn't think of going larger until I regear.

I'm most happy that I can finally work on some ideas I have had to increase suspension travel up front. I'm still in grad school so I don't have much time until summer but I'll tinker where I can.

At least the lift kit will be cheap!
