A Auto is much kinder to the drive train ... As with manuals there is a tendency for the power to slam the gears & shafts as you are moving the clutch in & out as you are selecting gears
Autos tend to keep all the shafts & gears in a positive power position
If you want to give a rice burner a shock .... Fit a NOS kit in a V8 Auto :p
