The TKO would be perfect for a manual. Those thinks are really strong.

Sounded good till it broke. I have a G-force T-5 whichI love, but I have yet to put any real abuse to it still. But sinceyours isa track only car I vote for an auto. I think in the long run you'll be happier with one of those instead of a stick.

Nick.
