Yes, I corrected the known weakness in the 6MT system - the clutch pedal and hydraulic system. It cost me a weekend of labor and around $700 total.

Now if you want to upgrade your 7AT to handle more than 285 ft-lb torque, you get to spend $3500+ including core exchange. My 6MT handles much more than that no problem with the new CSC. So I'm not sure what your argument is ...

I get better gas mileage and a smoother ride in my MT in traffic than the AT. I also cause less wear and tear on the transmission because I don't shift near as often
