I once posted a question in one of these threads about "who pays". I simply asked if anyone of the angry manual transmission devotees would pay $2000 additional(above the now standard transmission truck price)for the option to have a manual transmission...IIRC...I had one taker...

I would gladly pay extra for a manual transmission in ANY vehicle. I would certainly pay $2000-3000 if necessary. But, it does not matter, since manuals are as rare as honest politicians.

So, you win ricatic, sticks are gone. Be happy.

...what did I win???...I merely pointed out the real reason that manuals are almost extinct in HD pickups...did you miss my point when I wrote I have nothing against the manual transmission??? I have over a million miles of manual transmission driving behind me...I am coordinated enough to drive even an old Mack...

I understand the passion that some have for the manuals...maybe they should have bought more new trucks so equipped so the manufacturers would have continued offering manuals...

...and I am happy but it has nothing to do with trucks, cars or rv's...
