{"text":"Im sure some you drivers already know this. i read article. Cummins no longer will offer a manual transmission behind their engines.  I guess im old school.  I like manual especially in winter driving.  I can't say I like that idea.","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"that's exactly the problem, on slippery roads you want to be in control... it shifts when it wants to... maybe you just want to coast or glide because you see a red light ahead and you can't depend on it. when you want it to drop down to stop with the engine brake sometimes it's slower than other times... it is so much better with the manual, you want to downshift you downshift, if you don't you don't...\n👍 🇺🇸 🙂","replyToPid":0}

2138160 发表于 2025-08-25 19:36:19 I started driving two years ago and didn't like the stability in curves,  downhills or bad weather. \nSo I switched to putting it on manual always  , except when automatic is beneficial to me. \nHope this helps others with this.

","text":"I don’t think the original poster was talking about automatic-manuals but a true 13 or 18speed manual. \n\nI absolutely HATE automatics, they are absolute garbage in my opinion.\n\nI currently drive a 18speed but have driven 13 and 10speeds as well","replyToPid":486774}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I was young man. I took job on farm. my boss told me get in the old international truck and go out to field to help in cutting silage. I had no experience driving manual at that time. I climbed in. Truck had 3 shifters in floor. I stared at that for minutes.  Trying to figure out what to do. Needless to say I never got it moving.  I was embarrassed.  But the farmer laughed at me. He said not many people can drive it","replyToPid":0}
