  There are simulated transmissions for the weirdos.

    I’m not that into the idea, and the simulation kind of ruins what I’m after anyway. I want to feel it when I get a good/bad shift and I want it to matter.

    Sure, you can simulate the engine rumbling and the gears grinding. You can even rock the boat a bit with some hydraulics. When I shift “wrong” you can make me feel it for sure. But when I shift right, it’s not just smooth so that you can’t feel it. It’s smooth so that you can feel it ya know? (Okay maybe it wasn’t that smooth and what you’re really feeling is a slight clutch dump but wasn’t it fun)

  So true. I’ve never been more tempted to keep a classic car, even if it’s just an old shit box with manual transmission.

  I seem to recall some EV having a 2 speed transmission. A modern one, not like the Electrek that had a 5 speed manual
