But it is not rocket science, just don't expect to be silky smooth anytime soon and apologize to potential passengers that you will not cover their medical bills for whiplash.

I'm exaggerating. Be gentle, take your time, and practice.

Half hour with a solid 20 minute beer break in the middle, man you old guys work slow!

I like the slave cyl a lot, I'll report back if I still like it after playing with it on track Friday, but my street impressions are overwhelmingly positive. Very communicative while not being too stiff. Might be a bit much if you find yourself in bumper to bumper traffic for hours every day, but then again you might want to reevaluate even driving a manual if that's the case (or buy a sub $1000 beater with an auto because rush hour commutes are fucking brutal on a car you care about)
