The death of the stick shift is almost here

---

Driving a manual vehicle is a lost art. Hopes of a revival have fallen flat. With the rise of EVs and autonomous vehicles, only a few die-hards are holding on.

I prefer an automatic, but an econobox kind of needs a stick.

Modern gearboxes can be driven in both modes.
But nothing beats a true manual box.
Heel and toe downshifts are fun.

Loved my Alfa Romeo V6.

I only had one. A 1983 Mustang GT. It was basically the stock 5.0 and manual transmission but I had a performance clutch installed.

Fun car.

It doesn't help that Toyota and Subaru continue to sabotage the BRZ/GR86 with an asthmatic engine.

The stick shift in the new Mustang is made it China.
Made from recycled plastic.
