With the electronic throttle so disconnected to the engine, the hydraulic cutch with the delay valve and all the hard to replace sheet metal one has towonder if it is a good idea.
I have NEVER owned an automatic in my life till the Roadster.

Besides, the priority was a RED ROADSTER with LOW MILES.
Mission accomplished.
