Hmmm...Sal, I thought you were really on the verge of getting one? Now you make a post like this & all I can tell you is I've had manual cars for 33yrs & this is by far the best one I've owned! A lot of people just never achieve proficiency with a stick & these are the ones that bitch about them all the time on forums like these. Sure, there's going to be a bad tranny from time to time, but that'll be the exception, not the rule. It certainly isn't anything intrinsic to this gearbox. Some folks just don't ever seem to get a feel for shifting, especially with a 6spd. If you go right out jamming gears before the cars had a bit of a break-in & you've "learned" the tranny, then you're likely to screw up a few times & want to blame the trans for your own incompetence.
