Wasn't even considering an automatic but will keep an open mind on this.
I am not aware of jumping manual trannies but I was one that was considering an automatic although I love Manual trannies and am delighted that I did eventually go with the Manual Trannie.
The germans make great transmissions and so I am pretty happy with mine.
Not an issue in my opinion . I think that you will find even more issues with the Auto's out there. NOt to mention the one listed on the forum that just went into the shop for tranny issues.
