ORIGINAL: ZachW04Stang

The stock automatic isn't getting as much power to the ground as 5 speed. The automatic has to be built first. A built automatic with take a 5 speed with the same engine mods anyday. Had to throw in some support for the autos.

regardless I would rather shift my own gears thank you very much, control is everything [sm=americanasmiley.gif] I wouldn't have it any other way

if you think its bad having an auto in a 3.8 v6, try having to put up with a 2.3 4 banger auto, its so horrible to know that an automatic tranny can drain a cars hp so much.
