Overdrive Options

I know, but truth be told those don't feel like a real manual to me. We have the AutoStick setup in our PT and it just seems like a gimmick. Give me a third pedal any day, and a stick that I can change gears with (and I don't mean a raised pinky flick left or right movement, either).

I know that the true auto-manual stuff like in the Porches and Ferrari's are faster, but it doesn't change the feel to me.

Also, a true "gear-box" that shifts itself is one thing, but an manually shifted slush box isn't the same to me.

While i 100% agree with liking stick over automatic, its just that for me, the manual swap is too much of a pita or too expensive.

Whichever way you go, there is heavy cutting and about 3k in parts(the bulk of which is spent on a pricey transmission to handle the power)

So given all that, i'll compromise with an overdrive auto from GM and a manual valve body.(hoping to start my project here in a few weeks.)
