I like my manual transmissions but they lose a lot of their appeal when trying to pull a boat up a slick ramp, crawling along a river bank, towing a big load, etc. Most of the time I've owned two vehicles, the truck that does truck things has been an auto, and the car has been a manual.
Same here. Fun ones you row your own lol. The 4L60E can be a very durable unit it built correctly with the right parts install. Like building an engine. You want a maxxed out stock block, rods, heads...etc or do you want a long block that is built for running hard with a forged crank and rods, good heads, etc. You have to approach the trans the same way. The old saying, "Speed cost money, how fast you wanna go" always applies.
