>From one Tom to another, if a different person is going to drive the kota on a
regular basis I'd go with the slush. We used to buy manual trannies at work and
it seemed we were always replacing clutches. It seems everybody has a different
technique for operating a manual and I was told this promotes *earlier*
retirement of the clutch. YMMV.
Looks like you'll also have to consider this from the "making the wife happy"
perspective too... :-)

That's all they make. Well sort of. Where do you live, if it's CA, NY, or
MA, they can't order 4.7's till they fix some emissions problem or something
(at least that's what they're saying)(but it does make sense, because
non-emissions 4.7's are being delivered). Plus, Dealers never order manuals,
at least not around here (MA/NH), so chances are you won't find a standard
DAK, unless you get lucky and find one that got ordered then cancelled. I
have to admit, I have found a couple standard Dak's, but they are base 3.9's.
So now I'm trying to decide Standard or Slush, the wife wants slush, I think
I want standard. But it is going to be a family car (Club Cab SLT+ now,
driftwood (saw one the other day, not bad)), so I may go slush :-(. Oh well.
