Hi all,

I had my sights on a 6-speed but my will didn't hold out to waiting and facing uncertainty so I settled for an AutoStick version. Both cars that my dealer had were AutoStick so I never got to test drive the manual.

I do prefer manual shifts in my cars when available but I'm extremely pleased with the 5-speed automatic, very smooth. So I'm curious about the feeling of the 6-speed on the Crossfire.

I've read mixed reviews about it from knuckles hitting the console on front position gears, to poor gear ratio spacing, to bad shifting feel (long throw, washy feel, etc).

I'm still entertaining the thought of swapping my automatic for a manual but before I entertained it more seriously, just wondering if somebody who has the 6-speed give some comments on it.

Counterpoints from those who have tried the 6 and settled on the auto welcomed as well.
