Re: Manual transmissions V70-XC70 2001

I totally agree with Rick that Geartronic is no substitute for a manual trans. Sometimes having the car unpowered (clutch depressed) is just as important as having it powered...and applying the power to the drivetrain at whatever rate you wish is definitely missing with any sort of clutchless setup. Geartronic is great for what it is, but recognize it's limitations (mostly fun-factor, vs. practicle limitations mind you).
