The point I'm making is that a person driving a manual doesn't have a choice. They need to be constantly aware of the gear they're in, engine speed, aware of traffic situations requiring gear changes, etc, etc.

Ones a little more engaging than the other whether good or bad.

As for the OP. Have you considered trading with someone who desires a AT?

Ehhh
Not really, all that shit becomes just something that happens after you drive a manual for a while.You are rarely thinking about which gear to jump into because it just happens. The only time really a manual becomes a pain in the ass is 1st gear traffic. If you can get into 2nd and stay then better but if you are in puttering along stop/go traffic, get to know your clutch and first gear well
