I won't get drawn into defending myself but I'm sure one of the other people who have this transmission will join in and help set things straight once they are mad aware.
As I said in my post there you may want to pm nomad or iceman039 to find out what their experience was. I don't know what the real deal is with YourConfused's situation but I know it's not my fault. I gave him full access to my technical knowledge and he refused to use it and I gave him the opportunity to send the transmission back so I could go through it again and he refused that.
That said, if you want stick get stick. If you want auto I think you will find you can have faith in one of mine and that they do shift lightning fast.
