Just picked up a 5MT box.

I think there is a good weight saving going from AT to MT.

Consider the amount of fluid that an AT uses, the lines, filter and cooler and it adds up. The AT is a beast, and basically accounts itself for the difference in weight between the models.

Can you believe I bought a transmisison jack adapter and come to find out the car wasnt high enough off the ground! We had to manually install the transmission using two jacks, that was scary.
I kept imagining the 4eat falling and cracking my head like an egg!
