3s with five-speed manual (twm shortshifter with gunmetal weighted shift knob). automatic transmission is too frustrating for me. yeah, manual can wear you down after a while in bumper to bumper traffic, but stick is just so much better.

5-speed and triple pedals.....(Freaks me out when I drive my wife's auto...I go stabbing for the clutch when I come up to a stop.)

5 spd mazda3!!
way more fun than auto trannys...
and i do the same thing, im always pushing on the "clutch" in my parents auto, and it drives me nuts, and you want to shift, you know you have to, cuz your so used to it, but then it shifts on its own, and takes all the fun out of it....
Manaul Transmissions OWN!!

5 speed is the only option that the TIIs came with so you knewe I'd be here! Wahoo, nothing like having that third pedal.

I have a 5 speed 93 626 and i wouldent be able to live without driven stick! I find automatic annoying as it doesnt shift when i want it to! Plus manuel is so much more fun to drive!

2002 pro5. 5 speed manual tranny with a short throw. i'm looking for a j-spec GTX to pull the gears and syncros out of to rebuild my tranny with though. 3rd is the weak link and the GTX has cryo treated gears and super light syncros that last forever. i really just want 3rd and 5th out of the GTX and i'd buy my own syncros if anyone knows where to find tranny parts.

SLAP SHIFTS ARE CLUMSY, AND EXPENSIVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY DRIVING SKILL AT ALL, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE AN EXTRA PEDAL.

5 speed

Driving a manual is way better than automatic, it is definately more fun. Automatics are for pussies.

I'll never drive an auto again unless I can get a sweet deal on a dreamcar like a C5 vette or something else that nice. then I'll convert it.
