6 Speed Manual or 5EAT Spec.B?
Posted: Sat May 20, 2017 3:56 pm
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy my first Liberty (3.0 spec B) and can't decide between buying a 6 speed manual or 5 speed auto as I don't have the means to test drive both of them.
If you have either of transmission, I'd like to know what you think of it.
Some of the questions I have are:
- Which transmission can take more abuse? (this might be a controversial idea but i would like to do lots of work to H6 motor and dont want to destroy the transmission)
- How responsive are the paddle shifters in the auto?
- How well does the auto transmission perform without manual shift input?
- Is the manual nice to use? (e.g. is it smooth or clunky and awkward to find gears)
- How do both perform on track or in hills?
- Do the have similar top speeds? (I hear the manual has a much faster 0-100 time)
any other thoughts you have on either of the transmissions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone
