HooN Regular Location: The Rainy City Registered: May 2002	Re: Manual VS Auto? Wed, 04 September 2002 17:07 Gday Rev changing can only be done if your gearbox synchros are still intact. On Allans old celica, it could be done in most gears. In my old celica i could only do it downshifting from fourth to third. Its pretty simple in theory once you know how to do it, but i doubt its doing any favors to ur gearbox. IMHO autos are for drag races. Look at all the hi-po V8s and Top Fuellers. Snap changes and can be launched HARD using a tranny brake. Most generally available "tiptronic" and "semi-autos", apart from the glorified autos stated (magna v6 etc) are manual gearboxes with an automated clutch. Dont know about you guys, but i think that if you dont know how to use a clutch then you shouldnt be trying to change gears. No matter how well programmed the clutch is, it is no match for the input and perception of a human foot. In the twisties and corners, i disagree with some replies here and say that manuals are the way to go. Leaving it in the right gear BEFORE the apex and leaving the clutch out through the whole turn while left foot braking is one of the reasons why i actually have my licence. Quote: But then again no way could you buy an auto Farrari!! Dont quote me ( ) but i think the 2002 ferraris are tiptronic only? The new Enzo will be anyway. Just my 2.2c Cheers [Updated on: Wed, 04 September 2002 17:11] [Report message to a moderator]
