there is really nothing to go wrong with a "direct drive" tranny,except maybe a "throw-out" bearing after a very long,long time,and this can really only happen if ya "ride" the clutch.paddle shifters? poor substitute for a real manual! not even close! gotta keep in mind,when ya do the "slush" thing,ya give up control of the car to a computer,and that sure as hell is NO fun in my book!..just sayin'..getting my 6 speed (m.t.)
very soon!

If you would have spent a reasonable amount of time with the auto you would quickly realize there is no "slush" about it. Very positive and fast shifting.
