I really don't know what it weighed, but it def drug the car down and we took it from Pa back to Tx... 1640 miles +/-. I wasn't too happy about it @ the time.

there is less strain on a manual vehicle?...i am guessing. Not too sure either. I guess it puts more strain on the links in an automatic trans.

I have driven 3, 4 and 5 spds w/a clutch for 35 yrs now.Does that answer your question? It's still hard on the clutch and drivetrain, butI didn't have a lot of choice.
