I agree with you Randy, the 6spd is very smooth, I just don't like the fumbling. One time the transmission got so mixed up I wasn't sure what was happening to it. I just kinda bumped and moved forward. You're lucky at almost 19 mpg! I'm only getting 9.6 in the city and I keep it below 2K rpms most of the time! Could be the 3" lift and big A/T's though
