Re: Do you guys get tired of shifting gears?

Its personal preference. I miss my 5-speed though. Drove it 80 miles a day about 1/2 in fairly heaving downtown rush hour traffic. It sucked when I spent that time jumping between 2 & 3, but it was always great to have that tranny slowing you down beffore your foot can get to the brake when some jack off up front slams his brakes... That car had a hydraulic clutch which was nice; I don't think I'd want to drive my C-10 with the old mechanical clutch like that.
