Agreed, it takes a little touch. It's just not the huge PITA that a lot of people on this forum think it is.

most (but not all) NY'ers just don't have the desire to learn MT.

You sound really wishy-washy about this whole thing dude. One day you start a new thread about how you want to go with manual, then the next day you start another saying how uncomfortable you are with it and think you wanna go with the 7at. I think you should just take some time to really sit down and think about what you want. Maybe write down the pros and cons of each. Like I said before, you aren't going to be comfortable driving stick when you've only done it 2 times. It does take some practice, but you really sound like you're doubting yourself about learning it bro.

Whatever you do, don't jump into a decision you are going to regret. Really think it through whatever transmission you go with.

My wife learned manual in like a day. Man up. Jesus.:shakes head:

Yeah, a 50k mistake isn't easy to throat

You will pick it up pretty quick. If you have never owned a manual, and have the opportunity to get a manual sports car take it. I think it's more fun, a manual isn't for everyone in every situation, but I think everyone should own one at least once to understand the difference, plus with more sports cars going automatic only, the opportunity to own a new manual sports car is going to get tougher and tougher.

Lol that's my favorite part is the more difficult to operate clutch. My wife drove it once for a short distance and hated it. That's how I knew it was perfect. She keeps asking when I will instal RJM pedal setup. I'm inclined not to. In fact I want to make it even more difficult to drive. Lol.

I hate MT. I only got it because everybody said it's cool! :ugh:

Look, Don't be a Vagina and make the same mistake I did.

since i can't practice on a manual , i found classes here that teach you manual, one on one training in their car, so ill be picking that up.

So opposite of your thread title?


:p


Ps- goof choice on the 6mt. Everyone should know how to drive and own at least one mt car in their life IMO.

Sounds like you are intrigued by manual, so yeah, give the classes a go and see what you think :)

Don't be browbeaten into an option that appears to coincide with the preferences or beliefs of others -- you are the one buying and driving the car.

Test drive it and go with that.

FWIW, unless you are personally determined to have a manual trans for one reason or another, I would be very surprised to discover you later regretted getting the 7AT.

It's an excellent trans, and on par with the performance of good dual clutch trans cars, both in terms of performance and feel. There is really no great reason to choose one over the other besides personal preference -- they perform equally well on the track and on the dyno, so qualia is the final issue to consider.

Good luck :tup:

EDIT: Okay, so you are taking classes?

Well, I say go for whichever one you want. Test drive both and decide once you feel ready.

Sigh.....another MT/AT thread. Manuals are more fun, especially if you're driving illegally. If you drive sanely in heavy traffic with lots of hills and a cup of coffee in one hand, maybe the auto is your way to go. Being afraid of the MT is not an argument. Like previously said, it'll come to you naturally in a week of two.

My apologies,thought it was directed more at me:tiphat:
To the op, both sides have there pros and cons. Learn to drive a manual if can,than pick which you would prefer. There's a couple of options that will make your clutch peddle feel better as well. I took the spring out of mine and is perfect. I'm stuck in a lot of stop and go traffic at times and it doesn't bother me at all.
