If you've done the clutch on a D3, you'd go for the auto. The D3 clutch can last as little as 25K miles too, if the driver doesn't use low range for slow speed manoeuvres.

Is that even on the flat or on hills? tbh bar 1 clutch in my first car ive never had to change another one as I'm quite careful with them

I did a D3 clutch which was worn to the rivets at just 25K miles since the last change. However it was used as a tow vehicle, pulling a 3 ton trailer quite often, and I know that few driver's would use low for manoeuvring the trailer.
But 25K isn't a very long service life for a clutch, especially a huge one like that fitted to the D3.
I'd expect to see a normally used D3 clutch last over 60 K miles, but it's all down to the driver really.

That's sounds a bit better, I doubt I'd be doing much if any towing with one as would mainly be used a family wagon although the 2013 shape ford ranger has crept on my radar now more so from a reliability point of view
