I drove an automatic tranny all the way up till I bought my 6spd Accord. MAny of you will cringe when I tell you that i learned to drive a stick on my brand new accord....yes, I bought it and didn;t know how to drive it.
Suprisingly, it was not hard to learn and now I am tearing it up on the road. CAn still use some help here and there, but it was completely worth it. I dont know what I was missing out on for the past 7 years

But yeah id go manual too. Lol accord wise. . .

I was joking but since you brought it up I guess this accounts for why the pros who are using Import based cars in FWD configuration all use manual trannys....yeah I think that would be why because the slushboxes just don't hold up to the abuse like the manuals do.

I wasn't trying to pick an argument it was just a comment and was based on the majorrity import racers/tuners not domestics.

I waited a long time for Honda to make a V6 Accord Coupe with a manual trany. I was extremely disappointed when I found out the 6th gen coupe only came with an automatic. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out you could get the V6 7th gen coupe with a manual...so I had to get one
I wanna get one of them too You have a great car man, congrats. I hate automatics too...when my tranny blows, CL Type-S 6-Speed or Accord 6-Speed is being swapped in ASAP :thumbup:
