If that's the case, how did GM manage to sell 90% automatics in Western Europe in '98? Seems like it must be an incorrect statistic (if there even is such a thing as a correct statistic).
I think that a global ban on torque converters would do a lot a good. Or at the very least require that the lock up clutch is strong enough that it is locked whenever the vehicle is going over 10mph or similar.
