Every Mahindra Truck I saw in India had a manual transmission, mahindra will offer a manual after they get the first trucks launched. The manual transmission will require a new series of epa testing, they will be working on it while we are enjoying our Six Speed Automatics. Those of you looking for your base manual work trucks will get it in due time. Mahindra feels like the automatic, A/C, cush trucks will be the the bulk of the sales in the US, that is why they are developing it first. The ZF-6 speed is a sweet transmission, I have one in my Jaguar R model, it is smooth and keeps the motor in its torque band which will be very important for a small diesel engine.
