H'm, that must be a good transmission. Lots of favorable reviews of the company that built it.

I believe that there are people who can shift a manual faster that the MCSa can shift in sport mode, but I can't, and I don't think that they can do it for an extended drive.

I love having no clutch replacements to look forward to. Actually, my last stick shift car, a Toyota, gave me 135,000 miles, and had the original clutch in it when I sold it. I drive like a Wus. Too many years paying for my own cars.

I am thinking pretty hard about the works package. Just so I can drive slow down the street with the Works badge displayed!
