i want the 4.11 if i do auto or stick.

I am a moody drive I like to cruise with the windows down and the speakers loud....yet oh boy I love to throw her around a bit.

(cost and performance charactoristics?) -6 speed vs ECUTUNE 4EAT
I'm surprised no one has mentioned IPT in NJ http://www.importperformancetrans.com/
These Autos. with 4.44 gears are amazing. With the heavy 6sp you're stuck with 3.90 gears and a shorter overdrive, even compared to the auto. with 4.44s. Save your money and put it into the engine.

Being in Alaska you get lots of snow. If I remember correctly with a manual swap The DCCD won't work or if you get a modded one only has limited use. That would reduce your traction in slippery conditions. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.
