Please read the following: Our suggestion at Auto Work(TM) is to see Volkswagen and other car makers build, with only a placebo clutch pedal with a tension spring under the pedal and a click noise, a fully electronic and automatic tip tronic shifter with the same gear movement as the manual shifter( up, right, left, down) you see here for the complete emotion of the driving experience. It can be used with a fuel cell also to engage or disengage the power of the drive train in any variant. If you can build an F117 fighter, you can build this.
