there are good ones and bad ones..there were some spectacularly bad automatic transmissions...
gm had the rotohydromatic 375, the older chevy turboglides, the gm turbohydromatic, the fordomatic 2 speed, pontiac tempestorque,
ford explorers and escapes, and honda civics all have shit transmissions, the cvts that nissan uses are piles of shit...
in contrast, the new broncos, mach 1s, tacomas, golfs, coopers, velosters...all have stellar manual transmissions...even the civic is a much better choice with a manual...
My Fit with a manual is a pleasure.

Actually the earlier golf/jetta, and cabroliets 4 sp and 5 sp trans and the linkage was easy to do and they were great and easy to rebuild if need.....the new ones are junk...even the flywheel are a POS dual mass my ass., dunno how many of those i'd had to replace already with the trans, selinoids going out, valve bodies taking a crap, the shift cables break, the actually shift handle ......smh...why did they make those still baffles me.

Turbo 350 trans, Power Glides, Munsie 4sp were all bullet proof.

My GMC Sonoma S15 trans was bullet proof and it was a 5sp. I learned how to drive with a Chevy Pup standard trans 4 sp, I taught my first wife how to use the GMC just in case something would have happened to me.

When it comes to the air cooled VW....most have to be gone through now and day, but after you do it...that trans would last for ever.....

Man over Auto......i'd take Man....it's fun stepping off the clutch....
