Burning Smell??

I have to agree with j.arnaldo, just browse around the forums and you'll notice there's barely any thread regarding complaints of the 7AT whereas threads regarding complaints of the 6MT is quite common. Maybe it's due to the high ratio of 6MT owners compared to 7AT owners?

Most likey due to the fact that MT outnumbers AT and most MT owners have a higher probability of beating on their cars than the AT folks. From my perspective...if I was buying a sports car to have fun in (fun = very spirited driving), I would probably buy a manual transmission. If I was looking for something to just cruise around in and look good...I would have bought the AT. I realize there are obvious exceptions to the rule.

I don't think that's true. From what I've read, there are lots and lots of ATs sold. You could make a case that the MT's are probably being driven harder on average.

I've seen that almost 3/4 of the of the 370z built were 7AT. Of course, I think that was on the Internet...so we can all put faith into that number.
