    Yep look into FSM for A750 Manual shifting test. I know I saw it there. I dont think you can switch it on the fly so once in manual mode it will stay in manual mode until you reconnect cable.

    I still stand by my "common sense" comment. Why not have the option to help yourself if the situation ever arises?

    Workman agrees that Jumper cables are a good idea. Lots of places out here where Workman goes you might not see anyone for weeks. Would be nice in a parking lot though or just to lend a helping hand.

    Workman gets paid to hike, and is always prepared to hike out with plenty of water, food, shelter and .357mag with a box of 50 rounds.

    zombie runner says that the jump packs work fine as long as they have a good charge and are not left in the truck and neglected.

    Brake pads do need to be replaced much more often I think with an auto. I think in general in the long run an auto will require more maintenance $$$$'s.

    Question - with the auto, if you put it into the 2 or 3 position, do you start out in 2nd or 3rd gear, or do you still start out in 1st gear?
