Yeah, but when they do go, how much are they to replace?  Rebuilt manual
trannies are under $1000, at least from TBD.  I got mine even cheaper through a
private sale.

Also, how do you roll start an automatic?  You don't.

Don't get me wrong...I liked the automatic in the loaner bus from Dale Ward,
but I wouldn't want it in my bus.
