A 6MT will in fact hold up to drag racing better than a 5AT. You ignorantly use my situation to try to prove a false point. My original and 1st replacement were horrible synchro issues, one being 5th gear grinding (which I never shift fast) and the other tranny got stuck in reverse. Only until recently and my 3rd tranny did I myself destroy 3rd gear powershifting with more than double the stock power.

I know of 2 guys personally with less than 400whp and autos who have issues with downshifting, upshifting, slipping, its a hassle. One o fthese guys even has a VB and it goes good WOT, but downshifting it hesitates, and he isnt happy with it.

Sharif has 650whp (on his dyno)and didnt break his tranny dragging all day I broke mine with 490whp in low boost on my first pass. If you want to use me as a worst case scenario and think all 6MT's suck for dragging go ahead, there are 20+ 400whp guys and 6MT's who drag there cars and don thave issues with the transmission.

And yes I like shifting my car, and I have never been a cry baby about stop and go traffic, that is my view point, my opinion, while you have to pull a stick forward or back and wait 1.5 seconds for a gear shift Im already gone in the gear I want-a manual is a much more direct connection. To each his own.

Ive upgraded my valve body and it shift fast...no waiting . Do you power shift in stop and go traffic ? didnt think so . So most of your shifts in stop and go traffic and in town driving are alot slower than mine .

My choice is mine and yours is yours and niether is better than the other

Almost ALL auto guys with FI and 350+whp have issues with their trannys sliiping, not shifting, etc--->they need upgrades, and even then I know of guys who have issues. This is where the 6MT's shine, because a simple clutch/fw and your good to go in 95% of people's cases. The fact that your aguing whos tranny shifts faster in daily driving tells me your a tool, so I'll stop wasting time with you

A TH400 tranny has NOTHING, not 1 part shared with your tranny, its a race transmission! So, no point in claiming "auto's" are fast if its a drag race tranny. Kinda like saying "my Cavalier is super fast because its Ferrari Red!" For the record, stock auto Z's are weaksauce, and until one passes me, so is any Nissan auto, VB, TQ converter or anything else upgraded as well, as most guys who do those upgrades have upshift/downshift issues anyways.

In a sports car---> 6MT > Auto
