I assume your aware the diff bush problem is worse on the manuals, and just how violently it unloads and distorts on a gear change, there is actually a really clear video floating around filmed with a go pro under the car....dont worry about the bush, you can see why the bolt snaps.

I know we dont all have endless amounts of money, but man, Id be beating the hell out of it if I went manual. Used to love walking it off the line and getting to the top of first without wheel spin and then just peeling 2nd after a brutal kick whilst holding the loud pedal flat, just clutch kicks in general are fun at speed in whatever gear your car will turn them in. Your probably going to do big launches at the strip at some stage.

So unless you drive like grandma that clutch and rear end is going to have a hard life...
