I have missed shift many times in 20+ years of driving manual....

But to miss shift in an automatic

Height and weight has nothing to do with manual.

Although you are the first person to admit why they bought an Auto.

Too bad the other 7AT guys don't have the balls to say the truth

Yes, the only thing manual is good at, is just the 'feel' i envy the feel and nothing else.
