A year ago, I would have disagreed with that. Now, I'm thinking auto for the win- it seems like the stock Jeep 32RH trans "starves" for fluid at extreme angles- I've noticed that riding with xjeeper. If I can find a fix for that, I'm swapping out my NV3550 for a Auto.

yes the auto is the way to go if you are going to be doing hard crawling! i had a stick for a while and it was fun for some things but not for most
