The manual shift function is brilliant!! Having torque converter lockup in all six gears makes it easier to use engine braking when creeping in rush hour traffic. The 6R80 has very well chosen ratios.

You are getting closer to the correct answer. Add a clutch pedal and gearbox will always be in the correct gear of your choice.

Another plus for the Transit drive train! A slush box that acts like a standard.

my other vehicle is a manual

A manual option would have been awesome! But we all know that's not gonna happen on this side of the pond.

Part of the NWO I guess, keep every one dumb and reliant?

While I agree it would be great to have a manual option, I am very pleased to hear that the automatic behaves nicely with its 'manual' controls.

I gladly enjoy a manual for my 'sporty' cars, and have for many years now. But for how we would be using a Transit, it would be nice to have an automatic and just... drive.

I do not mind the auto in my Sprinter, it is a pleasure after 10+ years shifting a 6 Speed on my Freightliner FL50.

I doubt NWO. We've done it to ourselves. We are fat, lazy, and stupid to see through the chemtrails NWO is giving us.

Not a problem for me, I live in the country and do not see many chemtrails, drink well water and no sweeteners, preservative or big corporate foods.

How did we get from transmissions to chemtrails?? Ah, nevermind... where's my processed cheese snack?!
