about $80 and a weekend, in chicago area. Lasts about 130k. Nothing to fret over. Worth the efficiency gains, easier than walking. You don't have to slip the clutch any more than necessary to get the car rolling, I don't slip it at all between gears. So many countries are predominantly stick, and some are quite hilly, plenty of precedent for not having a lazy and sloppy automatic in the city.
