Sounds like Chrysler needs to go back to the drawing board and design a
"good" US built manual transmission, or revisit some of the ones used back
in the 60's when they were coupled up with the 383's and 440's. I don't
remember the source, but did read somewhere that the transmissions were
being made in Japan (at least back around '96 they were). I currently have
just shy of 39K on my DAK, and am working on my second trany; rapidly
approaching a third one. The first one ran 16-17K, the second has around
10K and is showing emminent failure simptoms for the near future. I don't
know where the problem lies, but there is one, at least for some of us.

Which brings up a logical question:
If Chrystler's manual transmission won't hold up, why give it a higher
hauling weight than the automatic ?
