People here make driving a mt z sound so much worse than it is. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it. It's nothing to worry about or a reason not to buy the mt if that's really what you want. Also, if you have big power plans later the auto paints you into a corner.

Hey man,just giving him a heads up on this clutch,that's all. I've driven nothing but manuals,and the 370s is more of a tricky clutch than most. Definitely wouldn't have it any other way though.

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

My apologies,thought it was directed more at me
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.

Just learn to drive a manual. You don't have to own one, but knowing how to drive one is a skill every man must possess. Yes, I know my post would have been hilarious 30 years ago and perhaps pretentious by today's standards. But at least I can drive a manual .

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.
