This is an interesting topic, since I've decided to go auto in the next version of my Falcon. The last two transmissions were 5-speed sticks, and really, I just don't want to shift anymore (for now)--part of this is related to simple driveability and the occasional need to sit in traffic and move ten feet per minute. This sucked with a cammy engine and a 5-speed (stick). I'm going with a 6l80 that came with my new (slightly used) LS 5.3, which adds a sixth gear and the ability to not clutch and shift. I'll look forward to seeing where this thread goes.
