Waste of 10,000$

Should have bought the right tranny for you the first time around-- or just upgraded your auto.

I don't understand the thing people have with sticks. I really don't...

Again, gotta compare apples with apples.

And if you were tracking the car, you would know exactly what people "have with the sticks". It is impossible to take our car on a road course and have any kind of realy control over it... Even if that's not an issue for you, it is not possible because the tranny will go into limp mode after 1/2 a lap...and you will be stuck in 4th gear.

That's just how it is. As far as money, it's not 10000, it was $8000, and that included a clutch upgrade too (which was $1200 used, but usually goes for $3000 - ATS triple-disk carbon)... apples-to-apples

6MT was not an option when Gurgen and the rest of us "early adopters" bought our sedans.

Also, Gurgen did upgrade his 5AT trans. Now he's moved past that.

Thanks for breaking new ground Gurgen

Better your motors and trans than mine
