You have a stick shift. She's done for. You glance back at her through your passenger window and nod towards the photo hut, she stares back through coke bottle glasses and mouths "You're going down sonny." It's on! You honk your horn three times in slow rapid succession and rev up to the 3k limiter, she turns off the OD and poises to stamp down on the skinny pedal with the brute force of a small child. Just as you let off the clutch you here a hollow thud and a bang. The tachometer drops and the truck stalls out. Your clutch slave gave out under the awesome power of the 3.0 and on top of it your trusty Ford 7.5 couldn't handle the tire squealing torque and sheared off the ring gear. You watch in hopeless defeat as the old women madly weaves her way around carts and strollers to the photo hut at excesses of 10 MPH. She coolly pulls up to the photo hut and turns around to head back your way. She makes a victory lap around your broken truck, which is now in flames due to the faulty cruise-control switch, blaring "Tokyo Drift" by the Teriyaki Boyz. She grins and drives away, she has to go feed Mr. Fluffy.

*drops mic, walks away*
Ok, now that was worth reading. LOL. Too funny.

i have a 5-speed and it gets old quick!! its annoying. My next truck will be a auto for dam sure. but from it being a hassle it has f-ing problems all the dam time!! i have dropped my tranny 3 times in the past 6 months. Go with a auto with the 4.0 and i think you will be extremely happy. Ford 5-speed suck *** in the ranger's. slave cylinder problem being a major flaw in them.
