For people who have alittle more knowledge about the Automatic Transmission then i do, is the Auto trans capable of going 250,000+ miles if you keep up with the maintenance without needing a rebuild or any other major/costly repairs?

Yes they are
my old 93 4x4 dak had 281540 miles on her when the trans went, i put a mopar reman in her and my buddy who nor has it just turned 292995 sun when we serviced it oil and filters, about 95 percent of this truck is still original parts and it still runs and drives good

Thanks for the reply. I just trying to find out how durable and reliable the Auto tranny is. I hear people say that a manual tranny will last longer then the Auto, but I want to know if you keep up with the maintenance if you can make the Auto last as long as a Manual without any major repairs. Thanks

I really like an auto when I'm in stop and go traffic for an extended period of time. Pressing and releasing the clutch a 100 times and rolling at 2 mph is a pain.
If it weren't for city traffic, I might prefer the manual.

After driving a manual for the last 10 years, I am ready to switch to an Auto. I know that an Auto has clutches in it also, but do these clutches last longer than a clutch in a manual tranny?

* stop and go driving
* no third pedal
* you have "PARK"
* lower final drive (better gas milage)
* doesnt loose boost between shifts
* shifts faster
* goes to the correct gear everytime
on and on and on....

SR77...you'll be reaching for the "Phantom Shifter" a lot if you've been rowing for 10 years! Whenever I went from manual to auto for my daily driver, I ALWAYS got to missing the manual. (5-speed now and loving it!)

I am going to disagree on the point that auto's shift faster, if your good, you can shift a lot faster than an auto.

I don't think the Dodge auto tranny will make it to 250,000. I just hit 107,000 and starting having problems right around 105,000. The truck only goes about 30 miles a day at the same speed, 35 mph (to and from school). Right now it looks like I have to get a rebuild. ouch.
I would go manual anyday.
BUT this is my opinion with my own experiences.

Mine went at 120K, but I think it had been abused towing a big trailer. I think you could get 250K if you took care of it. I have to drive an auto because of my back, otherwise I would go manual.
