Folks, I have *never* driven an autostick that any serious power.
Including two that I rebuilt the stock engines on....yes, they ran "ok" but not nearly as good as standard shift. I have driven maybe 4 or 5 with stock engines. Same for autostick buses as well. I figure the autostick part took about 10 to 15% of the power.
