I didn’t have the details but no wonder I only drove an automatic for one out of the last forty-nine years. Thanks for the explanation

Is a tiptronic or an F1 paddle shift trans considered an automatic?
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

One of my favorite cars is my 99 Mercedes C43 AMG, but it had an auto gearbox. It was the only letdown of the car. So a few years ago I dropped a six speed manual in it, probably one of a dozen in the world, made all the difference!
