Automatic

My RX7 was a great deal... Love it... one owner car and has absolutely no problems so when I bought it, I overlooked the fact that it was an auto transmission. I really miss it not being a manual.
What would be more cost efficient (and less moronic) putting in a manual trans or just buying/ trading a new RX...

I am worried that if I buy a completely new RX that I will end up getting a lemon, since mine is so awesome... lol

Dude, if your car is what you like keep it and spend the money for the swap, Its not a hard job thats for sure, and once you get the swap done youll be so proud because it will bring the car to life.


MTX > ATX

But no if you like the car you have now keep it and do it.
