Re: [DML] Automatic or Manual

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Joel,

Both the 5 speed manual and 3 speed automatic transmissions are well built
and reliable. The manual trans has few internal problems but the clutch
components will have to be replace when worn out. The auto trans contains a
computer which is prone to failure from heat and age.

In the long run both transmissions are extremely reliable and cost of repair
at 100k miles would be about the same. The decision on which DeLorean
transmission is the best choice should be based on personal choice.
