Wasnt trying to discourage the stick guys, they are hit or miss, some have issues and some dont. My GT500 didnt but all of my friends here in town did, so after seeing so much failure and the need to try and mod it to perform correctly just thought it made sense to go auto. I will admit I used to like to row the gears too, but not that much any more

I have no whine no griding (knock on wood) but yea I'm gona invest in the shifter just to help out the 3rd gear issue
Of course I only have 300 miles but still better safe than sorry. Hope it dosent void the warranty

Sorry but after all the tranny and 1-2 shift grinds and warped flywheels in the shelby world, and then all the issues with the MT82 and thread after thread of manual tranny issues and all the parts you have to buy to TRY and make it work right the auto was a no brainer for me. Great for DD and capable of far more than the manual with no mods.

If I get bored and want to shift put it in sport shift and shift it, but a tuned 13 A6 doesn't get boring...and it doesn't miss gears at the track if I go
An auto wasnt an option on mine unfortunately. Track pack = mt82

I seriously considered an auto with how much power these mustangs can put out... but liked the track pack too much.
