I do not mind them if "made" correctly and not prone to failure .
Not long ago it was not "if" but just "when" they would take a dump.
So i have always subscribed to the manual . If driven right they will go a million of miles.
With the auto they are divided into soft parts and hard parts.
The 1st being "O" rings, clutches and such.
All it takes is a ripped "O" ring and now there will be no pressure to a clutch pack.
Most shops have no clue what sun gear is or how to pressure test a auto with air pressure .
But they will sell you a rebuild rather then a simple fix. (usually)
