Chris Wilson Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You don't actually NEED it, it's for Yank drivers who don't know how to drive manuals without sending the over run revs suddenly skywards with dire downchanges, and sending the serpentine belt into a fit of agitation. Can I say things like that... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
