I agree with all you have said. The rumor was started here.

How hard do you drive your Z oh ... and here
Automatic Z - problems? or bullet proof?

Could have been a one off. I almost bought the AT but decided I wanted the inconvenience of having to use my left foot and pull my hand from the steering wheel to shift so that I could avoid the evil glares from all the burly old school sports car curmudgeons. I resemble that remark, as did my Jag XK150 driving dad and all his Austin Healy (3000), Jag (early E type) driving friends, and my brother in his 944 and ... oh my god, I have gone on too long haven’t I?

The second link has some interesting posts regarding how to solve what issues there may be, with great success I might add. The MT was a choice. I like it. But the AT would have been just as much fun I think.
