I have seen cars on you tube with standerd trans and they sound sweet i think they would be a stronger tranny then the autos and wouldn't be that hard to put in a car.I have a 79 ford with a 3 speed in it i was thinking about trying it some day.I ran a 4 banger the only standerd i ever ran and i always forgot to push in the clutch lol

I have always run autos, I would run a compact with a manual,,,, but I have seen a lot of big cars burn clutches up towards the end of the heat.

some use an internal hydraulic clutch,then run the line off the front side off the master cylinder and the brakes off the back.then when you push on brakes by the time the pedal hits the floor your grabin another gear

I prefer automatic trans. I like to focus on everything else going on around me to be worry about the tranny as well.

Ever try to find the clutch pedal before during or after getting a bell ringing hit? if the cars in gear and you dont have your foot on the pedal....car dies. that sucks. auto trans for me.
