manumatic tranny

i was reading the writeup on vqpower.com on how to install this thing and it doesn't seem too bad. I'm definetly interested in it. have people had any bad experiences with it? or is it pretty bulletproof?

also, where can you find one?

I don't get it. It lets you tell your auto when to shift? Where are the controls?
The car shifts fine on it's own. It knows when to shift based on how hard you press the gas. I was expecting some sort of powered hydraulic clutch controller and controller that interfaced with the ECU lol. You know a REAL manumatic (I don't think any mod like that exist for any car lol)

ok now i see that it uses the cruise control buttons.
but it's kinda dumb if you ask me. but i have a manual already lol
and I mean that I don't think there are any mods for any car that will allow you to make your manual shift for you. lol which is what I thought of when i saw manumatic

Search on Google for shift_fast and Shift_Fast_2 automatic tranny shifters. This is a electric shifter that locks the Maxima automatic into any gear - very quickly. I designed the Shift_Fast_2 and used it last season. Awesome to use.
