Cause I haven't, we have (had untill recently) mostly manuals in Europe
Nobody here on forums discusses how to shift, never mind how to "protect" their pilot bearing by going neutral at stop lights.. I bet most don't know what a pilot bearing is, it's a non issue in the continent where manuals are the default... So that it keeps coming up on American car forums.. I thinks says more bout Americans and manuals then about manuals and pilot bearings  |
Of course, Stijn...we crude Americans know for a fact the Europe does everything better. But do keep on reminding us.
