Just curious..It seems the automatic transmission is one of the faults that a Prowler has according to its critics. I prefer automatics (senior citizen). How many would want a manual transmission, if you had a choice? I'm guessing most would prefer an automatic. |

I have no problem with the Prowler just the way it is, but if it was a option it would have been a manual. |

I vote automatic but I wish it had a smoother shift. I would like to try a stick though. |

The automatic is fine. Want more fun you have the auto stick ------------------ More 'Pumpkin' photos and Mod Stuff . . . . . . . Our other cars and stuff "I may have to grow older, but I do not have to grow up!" "The Prowler is not a car to go from Point A to Point B. The Prowler is the Point!" |

The automatic can shift 'faster' than the manual... Case closed Paddle shifter for the AutoStick would have been nice though |

Considering its retro design, I'd have preferred 4-on-the-floor. |

I was under the impression that the transmission had a shift kit in it to make the upshift fast and firm and if that is the case a tweak in the transmissions valve body would make a smooth upshift but make the zero to 60 time slower. I am no transmission expert but I was always told that a firm upshift put less wear on transmission clutches and actually make the transmission last longer. |

My left knee has been a problem for years so I probably wouldn't have gotten a stick, even if it was available. The autostick works fine, you just need straightpipes to really enjoy it. |

I like it just the way it is. I like the firm shift which is even more prominent with gears. |

The Kat is fast enough as it is. Its a roadster first. You want faster then get a Snake. |

One reason I haven't bought another Prowler is no manual tranny available. Put a Hemi and a 6 speed in the Prowler and it would be "perfection times perfection"!  |

I love the auto stick feature! Best of both worlds, can shift without fooling with a clutch. |

I agree with Pumpkin. Use it a lot in the mountains and big, rolling hills!!  Frankly, never learned to drive a manual transmission and living in a city with tons of traffic, it seems like a whole lot of work!! |

I love 4 speeds, but I really like the automatic in the prowler. I do wish the auto stick was more like my XKR and had stick motion to switch gears instead of just bump it. But I do use the auto stick every time I drive it. |

I currently have two vehicles with automatic transmissions and two with manual transmissions. I am fine with the automatic in the Prowler. If I really wanted a manual car, I would have bought a Viper. |
