I'm looking at a 2008 Crossfire, brand new, for my wife's birthday present two weeks from now.

1. Is the manual transmission from the 2008 going to have the wierd 1-2 or 2-3 shift problem, or even the 'popping out of gear' syndrome like some of the older models?

2. Are most of the TSB's listed taken care of on the 08 model that plagued the older models? More specifically the ones related to engine, pcm, electrical, transmission...

3. Which transmission is beefier? Auto or manual?

4. Any common drivetrain issues I need to worry about?
