Originally I was thinking of just modifying the transmission to get rid of the granny shifts. But then I convinced myself I wanted a Manual. And now I don't know what I want so I am glad the car is tucked away so I don't have to think about it !!!

Another option is a custom chip or flasher. I would never get rid of the automatic.

Chip or flasher:

Improved fuel economy, more power, improved shifting points, pressure, etc

now thats a cool idea.. I should of thought of this.. now a question about the chip . can you get one with 2 or 3 programms . I guess what im sayin is .. is there a way to have 2-3 settings one for strip one for in town and maybe one for highway.. this would be the way to go if not to expensive
