In what way? I have not had any issues to date with mine and it lets me pick my gear (all bymyself actually) and lets me keep it in that gear how long or how short I want. It lets you make a decision on what is best for the circumstances, so use that "freedom". Its part of the fun. I would not change to an auto for anything .....
If you need to start "doing" things as suggested here to make the auto more responsive it sort of defeats the purpose of an auto does it not?
EDIT: I have had a few people (who normally drive an auto) drive my manual now and all preferred the manual (and the petrol
) ..... other factors may be influencing that call however ....

I would not change to an auto for anything .....So I will reserve my judgment, but I just find the Amarok manual notchy and kinda balky. I was driving on the Hume Highway at 110kph, shifting from 6th to 4th with the road rising every 5kms dreaming of an auto. I can see how people may prefer the manual, I prefer other manuals and some autos too. I just don't get enjoy the Amarok manual box much. I will say that besides that the Amarok was a comfortable and rugged companion with 5 occupants and a tray full of luggage on my trip (which is also why i recommend the Roll n Lock tray cover 100% )..
