Based on a previous thread <2018 Transmission 6 speed manual vs. 10 speed automatic> it looks like the new 10 spd automatic transmission is the better choice for the Ecoboost since it'll keep the engine in the optimal power band and won't lose boost between shifts.
But if I can't find a 10A with the other options I want, I certainly don't mind manual (heh - my SO will just have to finally learn how to shift...) and based on this thread <2018 A10 "bouncy" shifts?> it looks like the auto may have some problems anyway.
So.... that all being said, if I do get an EB w/6spd, do you have any tips for overcoming its limitations in this application? I readily admit, the "limitations" may be just with my abilities (i.e. "just learn to shift faster") and I'll of course work on those.
I want to know how to get the best possible acceleration & not lose boost, so any tips/suggestions - specific to the EB/manual combo - would be most welcome!
Really enjoying the Forums,

Seeking a Lightning Blue 2018 w/Pony Package, preferably 10A but can do manual. EB preferred cuz price, but a 5.0 in my range would be seriously considered :ford:
