My 71 W200 has a 381 & 727 autotrans. All my other trucks are manuals. The auto is a great trans except when you want to go really slow down hills. The auto is probably better as a all around trans. I prefer the manual trans with the roads are slick (ice/mud) but every other situation the auto is just a better trans. The auto slips on hills and the truck feels less capable but ever try climbing over stuff with a manual? With the auto you can control speed with the thottle. with the manual you can only go so slow before it quits. Starting a beast going again while in the rocks can be a real trick.With an auto just push on the gas and steer.

Any more the auto is likely to be tougher because they build so many more.

If an auto helps make your wife happy driving a PW then do it. Better to share and enjoy together than to not be able to share the fun with your wife.

good luck
