The truck did look a bit aged and he did say they are in the process of replacing them with auto’s, although i think the experience in a manual will always be beneficial for the future when it comes to a job.
I would be inclined to wait for the vehicle change - assuming it’s a good update. Many training vehicles are way past their “sell by” date. Personally, I see no joy in learning on a truck with a dicky gearbox. If you miss a gear under some circumstances, it will cost you a test. Honestly, the time on assessment is enough for you to understand how that type of range change operates. Why put yourself through it?

He did say the chances of me having a manual for my test would be extremely slim.
