Auto definitely shifts faster, they're usually plagued by crap ratios.

Actually looking at that chart I totally understand why you complain about your car now, the manual transmission has 17% higher gearing in 1st, combined with torque converter slippage, ouch.
Yeah the automatic kinda sucks ass in my car. So do you think the FRS auto might have higher gearing this time comparable or better than the MT?
