Need to decide in auto or mt

[marjor1973]

Hi i'm going to order the 2015 next week but i don't know which trasmission to select, auto or manual.
I'm going with SC or TT.
I know 2013 auto was much better with auto tansmission but 2015 hold as well.

Tks in advance

The MT82 sounds like it's having the same weaknesses for 2015. I have had good luck with mine, but I'm also planning to stay NA. The MT82 can be made strong and better shifting with a performance rebuild that's offered by a few places if you really want to shift your own gears. Those cost about $900-$1900 depending on how in depth you go. I want a manual personally, so I don't mind doing a little work to it to make it hold power.

Go with the auto. You won't need to upgrade a clutch plus its easier on the axles.

Manual without a doubt

This is my first auto and I love it. If the car is fast enough, they are entertaining imo.

If staying NA then stick... Definitely auto for Forced induction!

I went with the manual since the PPs only come in manual. If they had PP in auto i wouldve gone auto but the 15 i test drove had no issues banging gears with the MT82. I enjoy the manual so i have no qualms rowing gears.

Auto with paddle, save 2,000 in clutch and labor!!!!!!!!!

Are you more concerned about money and additional mods, or the car being more fun to drive? How are you going to drive it?

It cost $1195 more for the auto. So I guess you still save $805

:kaboom::kaboom:

This saving is zero when Begin modify, and start to skate the clutch. Or when in the street take a 5.0 an automatic , leave the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rockon::rockon::rockon:

Yea but the reliability of the clutch and mt-82 with 600+rwhp? I never had any issues with my 2012 5.0 m6 but I only ever had bolt ons

My MT82 has held up just fine over 600hp for 22k miles. I did chose to upgrade the clutch after about 12k miles.
