I had my auto for 5 months until I traded it in on the exact same car in 6MT...

Trade it in or sell it!

Herby 'ol boy, my advice to you is the same as I give to those who didn't think ahead and bought the car without navigation and got the same potential fantasy .........

TRADE IT IN and save yourself from more headaches than you can ever imagine.

I'm with everyone else on this thread, trade it in for a 6MT.
Far easier, probably cheaper, less risky, and less time to obtain.

If you priced it out as a factory option, you need to remember the 6mt come with the LSD and the all important Brembo brakes. Come on over to the 6 speed side. We are all waiting for you to experience the difference.
