getting me a new tranny also

yea brought my car into my friends dads shop saturday thinking my axle was messed up. well he told me my tranny is gone and wouldnt even let me drive it home so its gonna be in the shop for 2 or 3 weeks. and i jsut got a dvd player in my car too only got to use it for a couple of days. i guess it gives me more time to dl music videos to watch on it.

why would your friends dad shop do the work when its a warranty issue? Also mine took one week to get in and they promise it back to me at the end of the day.

yes get a manual..
it doesnt matter if your a racer or not... manual doesnt have to do jack with being a racer. its just for the joy, the fun of shifting, and setting ur own ratios, shifting when uw ant to, and u conserve gas(i think) consider getting manual its really fun

hmm... thats true... and also isnt it harder to do a manual swap on the 2gen tl's since the e-brake is on the bottom and stuff so u gotta customize a lot?
