Talking about unreliable stock engines and transmission I am looking at all possibilities for engine conversion at the present and have an automatic tranny should I be worry about the transmission also?

Is there known major problems with these tranny?

Is the manual tranny better or more reliable than the auto. tranny?

Thanks,

PS.: And yes I am sure there is some great people on this list that are ready to help at any time. I guess I was new to the list and just got surprised at the way these people were talking to each other.

Generally we get along fairly well, though there are one or two who
insist on criticizing those who don't want to keep the unreliable
stock engines or transmissions.
