generally, which one lasts longer?
and which one is cheaper to fix? (not the clutch, but the transmission itself)

 

it depends on the driver in the stick..

 

i say it depends on the driver in both... how many ricers are out there with auto's that drive it like a manual and shift through the gears and neutral drop, ect ect

 

well, how about a really good driver on the stick, and the auto also
which would last longer?
and cheaper to fix?

 

you are asking a ritorical question. with an answer that cannot be given. both would last a friggin hell of a long time. if you are debating on getting an Manual or Auto then go Manual. much more fun to drive and you can control the power more

 

that's true
but how about fixng the transmission when there's a problem?
which one would be cheaper?
i heard the automatics can be $1,000+

 

yup the manual one would be a bit cheeper it you had to replace it
