Auto or 5 Speed?

well... what kind of driving to you plan on doing? if you think you'll be eventually building the engine up, i'd go 5-speed.
i had a 5-speed in my first ranger, and got an auto in my new ranger because i wanted something a little nicer. now that i've been building my engine and running nitrous, i wish i had stuck witha 5-speed. the 5r44e and 5r55e transmissions are crappy transmissions for ANYTHING other than normal daily driving.
if you'll be doing normal driving, a lot of stop-and-go driving (especially traffic), or towing, then i'd go with the automatic.
