I drive in stop and go city traffic every day with a MT. In fact, most drivers in the world do.

If you are struggling, you are the problem. Not the transmission.

Performance is markedly better when not in the middle of 100+ degree South Carolina summers. It helps not having to run the A/C 100% or the time as well.
