I need anyone who wants to chime in on whether or not I should go with a manual trans or automatic trans for my 78 Bronco.The specs are 4:88s and 44s with a 460.It will be driven on the street daily and for off road, it will be all mud.I'll tip over if i try to flex on a pebble so rocks are out of the picture .I also will be towing our waverunner/speed boat occasionally so I have to look at all the pros and cons.Granny low gear or c6 and no shifts/clutch?.All and any info will be greatly appreciated.

I would think if you were going to us it mostly in mud I would go with the C6. I don't think you would want to loose your momentum by trying to shift a manual trans and it's going in a 78 Bronco right? Well I have an NP435 trans for my 79 and that thing isn't the best for quick shifts. So that's why I would think you would want to go C6 if you are mudd'n it!

:stupid I would think the C6 to keep up your momentum. A manual would slow you down every time you had to shift. I guess you could throw it in 2nd or 3rd and leave it there with a stick and try to keep the tires spinning, but my vote is for the C6.

I was thinking about doing the same exact thing but that would delete the purpose of the granny low 1st gear.:banghead

For mud, I would go with the C6, and a GOOD tranny cooler, just stand on the stupid pedal and go go go, besides, no clutch to get mud packed and wear out prematurely. Just my .02

Being from the land of mud, I say momentum is the key, and these guys are right...go C6!! :thumbup

C6 with B&M shifter, good shift kit, big cooler, deep pan, manual valve body

Go with the C6......a shift kit and a trans cooler are a must.

c-6

 

[RaisedIIPerfection]

Anyone have a c6 laying around =)?

 

[Big Mike C.]

I agree with the C-6...many after market parts to make it bullet proof and less linkages to worry about...tranny cooler is a must!

 

[RaisedIIPerfection]

80% say C6. So C6 it is

 

[Dustball]

Thanks for not notifying us that you decided not to buy the trans/tcase.

 

[RaisedIIPerfection]

Well i still havent decided because finding a c6 for my rig is hard to do around here.So if worse comes to worse i have to opt for the manual...Either way i dont mind on which trans.
