Me, as soon as a manual comes in I’ll swap mine for the manual!

Between having to change a bunch of electronics and interior bits I cant imagine how expensive this will be unless you find a totaled MT car you can grab everything from.

Hence the madman/madwoman title

Juice isn't worth the squeeze. When I was younger I did a transmission swap on my 3000GT. I can't imagine how much of a headache that would be now.

And plus, back then I did it for better performance. I can't imagine downgrading yourself on a transmission swap on top of paying an ungodly amount of time and/or money to do this.

If you want a manual experience then just trade in your car for the manual version.

I'm 100% a manual trans guy.. but hell no, on this car. I plan to track it and a MT would only make it slower. Noooooope.

"downgrading"

"downgrading"

It would be, in every performance metric. Road racing, drag racing, etc = AT is faster. MT is because you want to have more fun, not be faster.

I understand that but in life, increasing fun is never a downgrade.

It is a downgrade when looking at performance metrics. "Fun" is subjective. I have fun with chasing performance.

Only reason I ever preferred manual was because they used to be the best for that.

That's not true. My ex-wife was really fun, but could definitely be considered a downgrade by all other metrics compared to my current wife.

Fat chicks are more fun but still a downgrade.

I mean... it goes both ways...

Don't act like manual stans don't use it as a tool of elitist gatekeeping.
