It is more of a personal preference IMO.
I like autos but I like the option of manually shifting it too.
Ratchet shifters offer more control over that then stock does.
But you got to admit in traffic and stop and go an auto is more user friendly.
Take it from a guy with knees that are old and creaky.
And face facts that you cant out-shift them and you never miss a shift.
And off the line you have torque multiplication that a manual cannot offer without burnin a clutch.
I run my pressures 5% over stock except the 1-2 shift and the 4-5/OD shift.
The stock pressure is good for those as the 1-2 is quick and 5% on it is a bit rough.
The 4-5 is an under-speed shift and a harsh shift there could be disastrous on the drive train.
10% pressure increases are just plain teeth breakers and cant be good on the tranny.
