The auto works fine in most respects, I do a lot of the shifting up and down myself though. As both my Evos were never meant for commuting or city driving I liked the Getrag 6 speed a heck of a lot more. That stonking engine and the noise it makes deserves to be manipulated by the driver, much harder to control with the auto. Powerslides are simple with the manual but due to the long ratios require more ability with the slush box. When engaged the auto urges the car on even when the brakes are applied, quite irritating and moving the shifter between P and R and D can be thoroughly unpleasant as the box slams and shudders up the linkage, you can't help but feel that you must be breaking it everytime you're negotiating a parking space. Another thing my car does is it sometimes won't change up when I move the selector from 2nd to 3rd, it will just sit in 2nd for a good few seconds before it catches up and decides to do as it's told. This problem arose after I'd been driving it for a good while, the workshop tried to diagnose the problem but told me all was well and that I must be using it the wrong way, well done well done....
