Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[lazyfoot]

But technically, you stand a better chance of driving out of a flood in an A/T than on an M/T. A/T assemblies are practically sealed. The only time water could get in is through the breather tube or dip-stick. However, these are usually situated high up and above the A/T assembly. All friction parts in an A/T are effectively sealed from the outside.

On the other hand, once water breaches the clutch housing of the M/T assembly (which is one of the lowest parts of the car), you're likely to be immobilized.

I agree! Have driven both A/t and M/T in flooded street, AT is better.
