Somehow I feel sorry for her, that you choose such a hard way, but she made it. Oo.

I perfer to row my own gears as I feel the reliablity of a manual is much better. The only thing that can go wrong is the clutch slipping.

Dont forget synchros, pilot bearing, release bearing, clutch hydraulics, and 5th gear nuts.



Everything considered, we own three manuals. Last auto was on a F**D and it sucked.
