Worst excuse ever. I used to tell myself that, until I crashed my auto Integra. I have only bought manuals since then, and I sit in stop-and-go virtually every day. Trust me, after about a week, you don't actually think about it; you just do it. It's almost like having an auto again.

Did I mention it is easier to control a manual? The car shifts when you tell it to, no sooner.

Back on topic: I didn't even know ZEX made a torque converter, so I have no idea where to get one. Sorry.
