Manual or Auto for off roading?

You get more tourque with an auto. Manuals are more fun, easier to fix, but otherwise not as good as the auto imo.

 

No one can tell you what you "SHOULD" drive when wheelin, i choose to drive manual because i feel i have more control of what my truck will do, but i go wheeling with guys that can drive manual but just cant get the hang of it wile on hills and trying to pull guys out (they like to burn clutches) so the desion is yours. because us telling you to get one or the other could lead you you not liking it and being unhappy in the end i would say go with what you have most experiance in. Just my .02 on the subject.

 

I just installed one of those,there are some pics in my gallery if you wanna check them out. I really like the way my truck shifts with the urd short throw. I feel that my shifts are a little smoother and it did take up some of the free play. Although when the tranny is cold it can be hard to put into reverse but it's not that bad. As far as solving your gear grinding I don't think it will solve your problem. If your gears are grinding now they will most likely grind with the urd short throw. How's your clutch does it slip?

 

manual is fun to drive but i find it kinda annoying when off roading for that i prefer an auto i have yet to run into a problem where 4low and sifter in D doesnt give me enough power to at least spin the wheels

 

Not when your rock crawling, maybe riding dirt roads.

 

x2, need a crawl box for the rocks.
