From my point of as an owner operater much as I hate pressing the clutch down I’ll be looking for a manual again even if it’s more money initially I feel it won’t be in the long run ,also when a lorry is ready for a clutch or gearbox I’ll know in good time and get in stock ready for when needed rather than being left in neutral somewhere with no warning as to what went wrong or when ect and requiring towing in like some of these autos do .
