Top transmissions 79 CJ7
Since we're throwing out opinions...I would never, and I mean ever, have a manual in a Jeep. I know, I know - 8 of 10 of you will freak out but it is what it is.
Automatics are fantastic off-road. I have a TH400 (for now, doing 700r4 next year) in my 77 and my 84 will have a 700r4.
As stated, it's more than likely that you have a TH400, but I'm curious what transfer case you have. Regardless, they are great out of the box, and some kits can make them even better.
007 I'm not a auto hater. I wouldn't mind having one 99% of the time. What happens when the brakes fail on a steep mountain. Only reason is I saw the video of the full size Bronco many years ago losing its brakes and went out of control going downhill. Not saying a manual might not have problems. That video just kinda made me think about that some

Hmmm... Look familiar? Had to use a make shift funnel.~~~
In 2018 I was headed with the group from Silverton to the Black Bear Pass trailhead. Very cold that morning. Just a mile or so out of Silverton I had a rubber transmission line blow off a steel fitting and start puking fluid on exhaust manifold. I'm sure it was both a cold, contracted fitting and a line that wasn't tight enough. We fixed it and added fluid on the side of the road and went on.
