I lost the battle but the war is won.

After a long period of negotiation with my bride, we compromised with an Auto but stepping up to the Black Diamond. I was working towards a MT for the past 6 months but I had to give a little. You know it is a good compromise when no-one is happy :cool:. No mid package with MT was the nail in the coffin (unable to step up to BL).

I won't convert to an order for another week or so but seems like it'll be an auto. My man card will be turned in at the next meeting.

Congrats to those rowing their own.
I think you can get a MT with the mid package. B&P won't let you, but you should be able to build it like that. You just can't use the remote start.
Yes, yes you can get mid pack with manual.......

She snookered you and won. Free ball given to the bride.

Is there any proof of this happening? If so I need to make some adjustments. I thought that the order guide said that the 10A was the only transmission offered with 322A (Mid Pkg) on the BD

I drive home from work over a ship harbor and I hate the idea being on the bridge driving a manual if there is an accident. I grew driving a manual and drove over the same bridge in the 70's so I chose an automatic.

Two words : boat ramps. I'll never forget the joy of not getting to both twist around and work a clutch! And I was 20 years younger.....

I, just by god now pulled the trigger on the stick and let me tell you what, I felt so good about that the upgrade charge on the warm alloy ringed wheels was less impactful. Victory. #crawlin

What?? Everything I've read recently is no mid with MT in BB or BD. You have to step to a BL for mid and MT.

I'm going with the auto because it is less to think about in tough off road situations. I have three other manual transmission vehicles for when I feel the need to shift my own gears.

Got my call today to learn my 7/14 will be a MY22 and when asked my config I went MT

One of those things you toss around till asked but it's the right choice for me

Granny gear will be a huge plus for boat ramps
2022 with a 7/14 reservation date? That’s crazy. What time of day did you place your order?

I’ve owned MTs but never with a crawler gear. Does anyone know if you can shift from crawl to first while moving? Or do you have to come to a complete stop before shifting over and up to 1st?

I live just up the road from you in Boynton Beach, FL. (No hills, roads straight as an arrow, no snow, no mud, 8 kabillion traffic lights...) My choice is a 2.3 auto Outer Banks, 4 door hard top, Hi pkg. I am waiting for white hard top, with white exterior (Damn hot down here!). I drive my kids to school every morning: 12.9 miles, 28 traffic lights, one 90 degree right turn. For Us, here is the rub: Manual Trans has significantly worse resale value than auto. You may like MT, but the resale market does not. You may think you will keep it for 10 years, but you probably won't.
