Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

Very light though.In what universe are you talkin about? It's a hopeless POS tbh...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 29/03/11 09:00 AM Share Posted 29/03/11 09:00 AM The manual does make the drive more animated. More alive. But if your use to a nice little snick snick short throw Jap box. It will disappoint you. Think more like engaging the blades on a rotary hoe than changing gears lol. It will also enhance the magic drive line shunt till you get use to it and having to use the left foot more than you would like or need too.The auto is easy. Reasonable quick changing. I doubt the manual could be thrown much if any quicker. The auto can be blipped. Makes for a little fun. And will hold gears well. Even give compression lock up if you slam down to many cogs. All while being a delight in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
