Amen to that!! I have a gas 460 engine in my F350, but the transmission
is manuel. I am pushing 50, have bad knees, bad back, etc. but will not
buy an automatic -- been in the mountains with a friend when her brakes
went out on her automatic Chevy. At least if I loose brakes in my
manuel, I still have gears to slow me down!
