Whenever an auto-phile asks me why I have never owned an automatic and
never will, I answer, "Because I like to DRIVE the car (or truck), not just
steer it." Unfortunately, I am less than satisfied with the
AX-50. Actually, I think it sucks. My truck has 96K on it and the tranny
leaks and the gears are notchy, not to mention that every once in awhile
the clutch cylinder will be empty, with no evidence of where the fluid may
have migrated to...Can anyone suggest an MTL which might make it easier to
shift?
