Here is something I considered when buying the manual transmission. How much it costs to rebuild an automatic. Every automatic I have owned at some point needed transmission work. Of the manual transmissions I have owned, only one needed a rebuild after I put 350k miles on it (I didn't baby the gearbox either). In my experience, manual transmissions last way longer than automatic transmissions do (this is not considering the fact that new technologies and such could possibly make an automatic last longer). How many clutches would you have to replace before you paid for a rebuild on an automatic? To each their own, of course, but so far I have not seen this point brought up in this thread yet.
