Re: [DML] 5-speed vs. Automatic

[Bob Brandys <oehcs@xxxx>]

Sean,

I replaced my 5 speed with an automatic on the same car. I find the automatic
to be much easier to drive. It also seems to perform better. Possibly because
the engine is kept more in the higher rpm torque range. because of the torque
converter.

That's my 2 cents.
