You have been doing this for 4 months! Your car is on the way out, hmmm.... I wonder why. Thanks for the advice but I will stick to normal driving and keep my car running another 6-8 years, I hope.

Varn, sorry i should have been clearer, when i wrote it might be worth moving to a manumatic i wasn't referring to buying a new car i was suggesting modifying your automatic to a manumatic there are a few threads about this topic, they dont have very good instructions though but i am about to give this modification a go myself soon and ill be posting a how to if it works.
