Not all manual transmissions are created equally, so you need to know some info before choosing one for your ride.
Automatic transmissions have come a long way from the non-overdrive, slow-shifting slushboxes of the past, and while we can appreciate how good they are, these days many of us still prefer a manual transmission. Why? Why do we desperately cling to what some call antiquated? For the same reason Porsche dropped manual transmissions and then brought them back for many of their higher-performance models, because manual transmissions are more fun. Yep, it's true. Automatics are great for the daily driver, or even a cruiser, but for high-performance driving, off track or on, nothing beats the feeling of rowing gears and trying to nail that perfect heel-toe downshift. With a manual transmission you become more integrated with the car. And we don't care if you show us data showing how a modern automatic can do it better, so don't bother.
