It depends on the application. Rock crawling and trails I'd probably go manual, automatic for pretty much everything else. You have more control with a manual and more torque multiplication with an automatic. Can get manual valve bodies for just about any older automatic that's popular and they are easy enough to bolt in. Big issue is cooling and changing the fluid out on a regular basis.

I got a '05 Rubicon with a lift, tires and winch. Used to take it offroad quite a bit. Now, I drive it around New Orleans (potholes don't scare me). It's a six-speed. I wanted the stick. Gotta a chrome skull knob on it.

In retrospect, I wish I had gotten an auto- both for wheeling and for stop and go driving.

These days, the only thing I'd get a stick shift for is a 400+ HP musclecar.
