i agree completely...cant wait to get rid of my 6speed and get into a reverse manual valve body with a trans breake

I'd also like to add that it actually takes skill to drive a manual. I was grinding third on the CRX pretty hard today (did that since I bought it). The trans about had it, time to find a new one, and another good reason to perform a B series swap.

I've got a T56 in it now and have nothing against it. I like manual cars. However, I'm planning on swapping in a TH400 for consistency and hopefully lest time shifting. I assume when the car lurches back-forth on each shift I'm losing time. It should be great off the line.

Ive always been mixed. I enjoyed my old 85 with a B&M manual shifter, that was pretty fun but it was lame on winding roads. But right now I wouldn't want to give up my 6-speed. Its just that much more fun for a spirited drive. But if I was going all out for a drag racing application i would go with a solid shifting TH350
