Once a shift was the only reliable transmission. Then, things changed. Now, automatic transmissions are just about faultless. Cars, trucks and even OTR use automatics. Even see them in race cars. No clutch to depress. More room on the floor when wearing boots. Years ago when my daughters were little girls, I'd let them play car by shifting the lever for me while I worked the clutch. Guess my grandchildren will have to find some other toys with which to play. My Toyota has a 5 speed shift ... but it's 13 years old. My wife and I drove shifts from 1985 till 2017 when she wanted to go to a automatic. Guess next car we buy, I'll got automatic. It's cool. I like the way her car drives just fine. Sincerely. bruce.
