If you have a choice and don't mind shifting, get a stick. If you are towing or hauling heavy, get a stick. But you're going to need a better clutch tho. If you don't mind putting about $4-5K into a tranny and torque converter then the e4od will certainly get the job done.

if i could do it over, and i still may, i would get a stick. more fun, more dependable. heat is the big killer of auto's. extra cooler will help that. mod's will kill the tranny so i hear. mine has 270k on it, don't know if it had work pre 220k when i got it. saw a buddy's '97 psd e4od go out at 200k that saw a lot of gooseneck towing. mine has been used to tow heavy for an extended or regular period of time, so i think that is why it has lasted this long. also i regularly service it and the engine doesn't have any power mods to speak of.
