Sportshifter vs Manual

My 1998 Prelude VTEC has a automatic/sportshifter in it, about how much difference is it compared to a manual, i mean, does it put me at much as a disadvantage as an auto vs a manual would? please help me with this... thanks

You're better off with an automatic.

Thats just my opinion though...

I love my manual and swear by it. Better control through the corners.

And acceleration from 0-60mph is much slower compared to a manual one, too.

Re: Sportshifter vs Manual

Sportshift was made to compensate for an automatic's poor shifting ability during drag. It's still no replacement for a good old manual tranny though.

I agree with aces. I love my manual. The thrill gunning it through the corners. The high Rpm's when downshifting. And the simple fact that u are in total control of the car.

Re: Sportshifter vs Manual

I Agree U Control When U Shift Up Or Down So Its A Big Plus. But If U Do Mostlu Crusin Then Ur Fine. With Manual U Can Rev Ur Engine To 4500 Rpm Let The Clutch Go And Ur Off With Automatic U Cant Really Do That Unless U Spend 800 Dollars On Strong Enough Axles But I Might Be Wrong. Ive Always Had Manual. So Plz No One Get Pissed Of And Start Talkin Shit Thaks
