    I was going to go 6MT, but had to decide against it as I tow a boat, and need to back it up an incline at my house. Didn’t want to roast the clutch every time I put it away. However, will probably just go 4.88 gears when I can save up enough and call it a day.

    I've owned an 04, 06, 08, now a 16 all manuals. They gave me an automatic as a loaner when I was getting my rear diff replaced and hated it.

    That’s what I was thinking. Looks like I’ll just have to keep my 2011 6MT Outback

    My suggestion would be to reclaim your testicles before you do anything else. That should be your first priority.

    Toyota gave me no choice in the matter since they refuse to offer a manual DCLB. The auto transmission is the single biggest regret I have with the truck; but, thankfully, OVtune has come to the rescue to lessen the pain a little...

    It's been done in the past when no one bought automatics and they probably do it in the rest of the world w/out a problem

    Toyota probably don't want to make too many different MT configs for simplicity and logistical reasons

    Your better half will bring you a lot more happiness in life than a MT. I was in your same boat and purchased the Auto. If your looking for a solution than OVTune might be able to help you. I’m completely happy with the truck now that I have done the latest tune and have all the crawl control and terrain jazz plus a happy wife:thumbsup:
    Happy wife equals happy life
