Did you know that Dodge was the first motor company to offer a pickup truck with an optional automatic transmission? In 1955, when every other pickup was available with manual shift only, the Dodge half-ton "C" series offered the "PowerFlite" two-speed automatic transmission. A three-speed manual with overdrive was also available, but automatic transmissions were not widely available on pickup trucks until around 1970. Today's Dodge Ram may have either a manual or an automatic transmission, but a lot of guys (and a few gals) prefer the stick.
One important part of the manual transmission is the clutch assembly, which disengages the engine from the transmission in order to shift from one speed to another, and also transfers the engine's rotary motion to the drive wheels via the transmission. Drivers like the greater fuel economy provided by a manual transmission, and prefer the greater control over speed selection for various road conditions.
Heck, admit it - guys just like to shift their own gears. By around 100,000 miles, however the Dodge Ram clutch will be on its last stretch. While the replacement of a clutch can be a major undertaking, it doesn't have to be expensive when you do it yourself.
