The preslector gearbox

[Electronic M]

One option to have the satisfaction of being able to manually ratchet through gears but still have an automatic is to get a 90s Honda Prelude. They have an automatic where in the drive position you can wiggle the shifter forward and back to manually increment and decrement the gears. A friend of mine had one and drove it like a bat outa hell all the time...Twas a fun car but not good for hauling stuff.
