I got a stick mostly because the only Rangers I could find with factory buckets all had the stick. IMO, the buckets are a big improvement over the regular seat since the driver's side has adjustable lumbar support.

I got lucky, my truck is auto with buckets from the factory.

Out of the 5 rangers I've had, only one has been an automatic, and I had no problems other than I don't like automatics. I'm 47, and you can count on one hand how many automatics I've owned in my life. I think you would be happy either way, it's just a personal preference. Yeah, SC means supercab, I didn't really need it, thats the only way I could get the 4.0. Now that I have it, comes in pretty handy at times, like when we take it to the supermarket or feed store and it's raining. I have two other vehicles but some times we do take the truck, and I'm not in to bed covers or caps, I think a truck should have the bed open so you can get to it and use it, it's a hillbilly thing, you wouldn't understand ha ha. In other words, the SC isn't a bad thing at all, I've had other SC, but didn't think I would need one now that the kids are all grown and such, but it still comes in very handy and ya gotta have the 4.0, it's the bomb !!!!!!!!!

okay; i'm much more calm now!

is there a good phrase to use searching automatic transmissions' problems? i'm usually fairly successful with this, but i am getting either positive response or so general they're not a convincing argument fer or agin.

thanx,
