There is a long thread about this in the engine section. What you say is theoretically true, but there is no torque converter to absorb the shock of the switch, and it would be seen as a problem with the engine by most folks. I am not aware of anybody with a manual AFM at this point, but I agree it would be cool. If you took the AFM and connected it with a mild hybrid that would shut off the engine at a stop, you could probably get some crazy mileage, but I think if it was easy it would have already been done by SOMEBODY, even at a ridiculous price, but I would be willing to give it a try if it wasn't outrageously expensive...What if the manual tranny was a dual clutch with an auto mode???????
