I have rebuilt one manual transmission and one automatic transmission, and I have recurring nightmares about only one of those two. (fuck you, E40D...)

On the other hand, in these modern times an automatic transmission might very well last the (long) life of the car with nothing but ATF added. A manual is guaranteed to need some work, since the clutch is a wear item. That said, some of these newer transmissions haven't really proven their longevity yet, and they're attached to some really overpowered engines in some cases nowadays... interesting times.
