Something like that is just a bunch of gears and doodads moving the stick for you. still gotta hit the clutch.. but man, something like that can't be that hard to mass produce. That brings me to something I've always wanted to know.. as an auto-whore (haha), I've driven MT a couple times, but the whole process of shifting bothered me. Has the whole "gas-out/clutch-in, shift, clutch out/gas-in" process EVER changed since cars have been invented? Isn't it about time SOME new way of doing that came about that is available for mass produced cars? (Not that fake manumatic stuff) It just seems so inefficient and prone to error to me. Is it too hard to have one of those shifters and some electric widget push in the clutch and kill the gas for you? Maybe have it wired to the shift gate. I'm no engineer, but something like that seems possible. Just seems like a lack of innovation in trannies to me. Everything else about cars seems to have evolved but that. No auto vs manual flames please! :)
