Don't know if its such a "cojones" thing- I've sure had more trouble with autos over the years than manuals- course, I don't abuse the manuals, either. My wife is the horse person, and does most of the pulling- and she just about put the kiabosh on our purchase of a low miles, one owner '99 Cummins Dodge because she wanted a 6 speed. Then we soon had to replace the torque converter, because the previous owner had increased HP with a Banks turbo, bigger exhaust, etc, and didn't go to a correspondingly heavier TC. I think the advantages of stick over auto is more important with diesels, so you can have better control over keeping your RPM's in the engine's "sweet spot". Stick in a gas rig is probably more of an ego thing, as they usually don't pull enough to need it.
