I saw my orthpedist, today, for a torn achilles tendon (surgery in the Spring). I told him I am buying the new Bronco and asked him if he would okay with me getting a standard transmission. He replied, "please, don't." I asked if he meant for now or forever. He said, "forever." With the damage I have done, and my history of ankle issues, I am prone to having a blowout, and manual transmission will only speed things up. I guess, my days of shifting are done. ?

Think again. Work on it. I have titanium parts in my left leg and nerve damage. Dedication, years of it, to physical therapy has me shifting again and doing things they said I would never do again. Its not easy.

When push comes to shove I sometimes need to reach down and give my leg a help with a lift. I keep working on it.

I am so sorry to hear that.

Rest up, recover, and enjoy your new Bronco no matter what.

Ugh... that's a tough pill to swallow. Sorry you had to get that news. At least get the 2.7 with the auto. ;)

Sorry to hear. Use this to get the 2.7L and I have enjoyed the 10-speed auto on my F150 with the Sport mode peeling out at anything above a whisper of throttle.

I feel for you OP, but welcome to the club. I've not been able to drive a stick in 21 years, due to bad knees.

In 10 years, he can get a bionic Achilles tendon implant and swap his bronco to a manual!
In 10 years I am hoping for this so I can get rid of this fleshy body. If I get my bronco in silver I will match it
