mine's fine, same with my 11 old G which bascially has the same csc. i am pretty easy on the clutch even while going wot.
if ur stuck in traffic try to keep the car in gear as long as possible and not use the clutch so often. i see newbs in MT cars in rush hour that keep shifting back and forth back and forth while i only shifted once or twice. no wonder u folks think MT sucks in rush hour..
personally i hate driving AT cars in congestion.
