1968 How do you prefer your Special: Manual or Auto?

classicsguy · Oct 20, 2009

Since my Mustang is not my daily driver I would rather have a stick-shift GT/CS for just the enjoyment of driving it to shows and weekend cruiser!!!

What type of transmission do you prefer in your GT/CS? Manual or auto?

I've always preferred A/T.

Manual, not a daily but more fun to drive

Mine has a performance AOD. But I wish it was a 5 speed. My wife talked me into the automatic. I may sell and change in the future. Who knows, maybe a 6 speed!

...I like 'em both

Had to have a 4 speed!! Sometimes I wish I had 5 on the freeway because it makes me nervous running at so many RPM.

...That she is Rob, and we sure had fun trying to keep distance between a determined "rvrtrash" out here

The reason I say "like em both" is because I make a coffee stop early on the way to town every morning and managing the "manual" has resulted in a boiling hind side more than once!

5-speed manual. Finest kind! :teleport: :cheesy:

hotrodgrany · Oct 20, 2009

Why of cource, a 5 speed for me and had that in all my Mustangs

CougarCJ · Oct 20, 2009

Mine will stay an automatic like Henry installed back in 1968.

My other two play cars are stick shifts.

Auto. The engine looks nicer without all that smog stuff on it! Well, the J-code engine anyway.

Auto for me!!

I've got an automatic, but really wish it was a 4 speed. I had a manual stang in college, and miss the shift action. My Cal Spec came automatic from the factory, and that's how I'll keep her.

Mustanglvr · Oct 21, 2009

I like both. Right now my car has a 4 speed manual toploader. :grin:

GT/CS S Code · Oct 30, 2009

4 gear for me!

Gotta love driving one of these cars with a stick. We have the factory installed 4 speed in our GT/CS, but when our '65 Fastback is finished (eventually!) it will have a 5 speed transplanted in behind the done over 289 4V ...
:wink:
