Stick verses Automatic (Stock Eliminator)

Another question for this topic. What about cost between the two? Since I raced superstock I do know the cost of a glide, with all the bells/whistles, and a good ATI convertor. I ran mine for two yrs. thinking how well it was holding up. As I learned more about my engine it went quicker and the 60' numbers quickened. First time it went 8+ under I broke the planet set. They aren't cheap. So I know a planet set will not go too long, with serious power thrown at it. Other than that I had no other problems (breakage). What I am asking is I guess two fold. One is cost comparison between the two complete setups and the other is breakage and clutch replacement costs. Someone posted on this thread their clutch lasts two yrs. That's pretty good. What about the Jerico. Is Jeff's statement about his the norm? This is really interesting. Jesse
