My theory, Dam a full grown Ford thuck that can't shift it's own gears. Look for another vehicle if you can't make it through the day with no shifting.

Well I haven't driven it yet, I have to see if I can get it up and running today, it's been sitting for about 4 years... But my understanding is that there are problems with the current transmission slipping and it has a massive leak apparently. I don't know for sure until I can get it out and up on some jack stands
I figured if I needed to replace the transmission anyways, I might as well get one I enjoy driving, as my daily driver is already automatic.
