So what will 6spd manuals have in place of the tranny temp gauge? You won't need that nor will it really do anything in a manual.

There is a reason almost every vehicle has an amp gauge. You may not of run into power problems but as the car ages the gauges become more and more important.

I don't think that'd really provide any real info, kinda gimmicky really. I'd prefer a water temp or even better, FUEL PRESSURE!

I'm not going to be doing a lot of towing ; )

I agree with speedy, water temp. or fuel pressure would be cooler
