Manuals don't really fail unless you suck at driving, the clutch is there to help you if you suck too... The issue is more the clutch master, but mainly slave cylinder on OUR manual transmissions


And hell yeah, there are probably 10 times more manual cars pounding round a track than autos, unless they're supercars, then it's probably less than 50/50 with all the DSG gearboxes and paddle operated cars
No. It was an attempt at humor. You said they reviewed a manual, and it was unreliable, and of course folks that take their driving serious enough to track cars, tend to shift for themselves.

Have a great weekend.
