I don't know of any stock Mk4 Supra 4 cylinder manuals ... and that is what BIGDOM was asking about, right?

As long as BIGDOM knows he'll probably be slower in the 1/4 with his Mkiv 6spd, that's the only point of my posts (fwiw, I agree with the WeezL that this isn't worth bickering over). When you're talking about the Mk4 Supra Turbo, the tranny choice is a tradeoff: auto=optimal 1/4 mile times vs. 6spd=roadracing/drifting/fun.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
