Yes I'd agree, I only was talking about the US, in Europe is prolly another 
story. Those guys prolly use 90% man. tranny's. I think simple, automatic 
things appeal to most Americans, not really needing any kind of performance.

Question for you though, how is it possible that A/T's don't have 
flywheels? Isn't it needed, at least just for the ECU timing pins. I 
thought A/T flywheels were just thinner and more lightweight...
