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

[classicsguy]

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?

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

 

[gofastguy]

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]

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

 

[CougarCJ]

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

My other two play cars are stick shifts.

 

[teamlo]

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]

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

 

[GT/CS S Code]

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:
