I just have always had manuals. And I love driving them. Just a personal preference.

Yes, manual trannies do have some advanages. The biggest disadvantage for me wheeling was climbing a hill, the automatic would not shift down when I wanted a lower gear.

Of, course, a clutch job is way cheaper than an automatic tranny rebuild.

With the Crawler boxes now, the manual trannies are great!

Gnarls.
