It's a sidecar rig, what's he going to do with it, stoplight drag race?
First off apologies if this is a repost, didn't see a thread recently about it.

TLR; Ford used a crappy 6sp transmission made in Hummer's new homeland that is made of epic fail mixed with glass and taped together with twine.
For good measure:
"six trips to dealerships, two new transmissions, three new clutches and 42 days of the car in the shop"

Manuals are only useful in sports cars if you are going to drive fast and want more control over then car. Else they are just useless and annoying..
They're not even useful in sports cars anymore with the advent of sports transmissions.
Pretty much. They are handy for downshifting speed control, and do give a bit better handling in corners as a downshift into a tight turn gives some good gyroscopic stability. Other than that, it's more just a cosmetic or emotional thing anymore.
Manual trannys are a freaking pain in the god damned ass in city commuter traffic, btw.

If you are talking about tiptronic transmissions then I class them the same as manuals.
Nope. Totally different technology.
I actually preferred it in stop 'n go, holding down the brake in an auto is more tiring to me than using the clutch.I drove a stick for five years. Got old quick... Get stuck in stop and go traffic once and you will be done with them.
Most 'tiptronic', DSG or other such computer actuated clutch type transmissions have an automatic mode.
