Auto vs. Manual

Which is the better transmission for the B5? What can take more abuse/power and which one will last longer? THanks.

If you know how to drive a manual very well (as long as your driving skills aren't to blame), then I'd say the manual, but they are both strong tranny's.

Manual. It can handle more power and is easier to modify.

RE: Auto vs. Manual

I thought i noticed that when i was driving a tip S4 the other day. so is there any way to over ride that? Are you able to redline in 1st with the tip?
