The auto, 6R80 I believe, is a monster. I'm sure you've seen what some people were able to push that thing to. BUT, I would love to have a manual if they have a proper, FUNCTIONING, six speed. The shame of the whole situation is that Getrag is indeed a very good transmission manufacturer. They've done plenty of high end cars. The problem lies not in the design of the MT-82, but rather whom they've contracted to actually build it, a Chinese firm.
