I couldn't tell ya which is easier... but I know the manual was expensive :/. $500ish to replace the master and slave cylinders, but it works great now!

Manual tranny hard parts can be VERY expensive. I think most believe they are cheap to fix and hardly ever break, but the cost to rebuild a ZF is nearly double what it would be to do a 4R100.

Its a gear splitter, gives you like an in-between gear (1st, 1st-over, 2nd, 2nd-over...) Mounts between the transmission and differential. It helps the rpms from falling so much when pulling. I'm not sure if US Gear makes them anymore....I know Gear Vendor does...you can pick one up for $3k IIRC. If you do a lot of heavy towing it would be handy to have. I don't know what kind of power output they are rated too though. I think I've seen some 500hp trucks with Gear Vendors unit in Diesel Power.
My rebuild with some upgrades was $2100.
