To tape that to the inside of the windshield to look at each time I need to shift. C'mon J, this might be technically accurate information, possibly like your many posts on the subject of oil, BUT how can you say that this is really relevant to the day to day task of driving a car in traffic surrounded by cars and trucks and dump trucks and delivery vans etc. Why did they invent synchro rings anyway? Like I have said before,even the very highest forms of racing,namely Formula One and Indy/Champ car racing, have adopted semi automatic( ie paddle shifted E-H )transmissions due to the technical superiority of them, and they have left the past behind as far as sticks and clutches go. Feel free to bash automatics and the people who drive them,call us names and say that we are not "true" drivers and all that BS, but you are defying the numbers and the facts. The old style stick and clutch are dying out.What will you do the day that Saab ( or whoever your then favored manufacturer says NO MORE? Stop driving? Just drive old cars with sticks?
