I am rethinking my transmission choice. I drove a Allis Chalmers tractor and a school bus in the 60's. I last drove a stick shift in 1978 when I got rid of my 1973 Vega. Do you think I will be able reacquire my old shifting skills? I want to drive my Elio home from Shreveport. I could use the money saved for some other options.

Plus once you get up to speed on the freeway, you don't have to worry about shifting.

Not to mention, the left leg still isn't doing anything since there is no manual clutch.

I did not drive a stick since 2003 and bought a car with one in Oct it took about 1 minute to get it back. I had nothing but standards for 15 years before my automatic, you will be fine. I do not even think about it anymore, just get in and drive.
Thanks. Your response is giving me confidence.

The manual transmission Elio will have 3 pedals. There is a traditional clutch pedal. The "automatic" option is an automated manual transmission, which will not have a clutch pedal.

I still think that Elio should use a CTV in all Elio's there more efficient. and it would be easier to assemble them all the same and less parts to deal with. I prefer a standard transmission but most people don't know how to drive with the third peddle.
