Tom,

Nice score!

Having owned and driven both auto and standard - my preference is with
standard but not because the auto was bad.

Actually, my last bus (poor Grover) was an auto, and while I wasn't real
thrilled about it at first I found I quite enjoyed it and didn't have any
problems at all witht he stock auto trans.

As you say - it sure does make a difference in the city or in a traffic jam
:)
