Looking for another diesel farm pickup. High mile 4X4 12 valves with bad automatics and clean bodies can be picked up in this part fo the world for pretty cheap. The problem is, I don't really like automatics. It's not that there is anything wrong with them, I just like shifting gears and I want it to shift when I want it to shift, not when it feels like it.
So what can you tell me about manual valve bodies for daily drivers that tow a fair load every now and then? I don't think I would want constant full pressure, correct?
Can I get one with a reversed shift pattern and an actual overdrive selection, instead of electric overdrive control? I assume lockup is still electronically controlled?
What are the downsides? Are there any if I like shifting gears?
