Which shifter do you prefer?

>>16719154

gated is cool until your tranny wears out and the shift pattern changes

>>16719154
>implying anybody here has driven a gated
>implying they'd choose it if they had
It looks nice but holy fuck you do not want to own one of those.

>>16719284
Why not?

>>16719154
What car is on the left?

>>16719579
Never mind; it's an R8 if anyone was wondering.

>>16719154
Gated looked cool in older cars. But I much rather prefer functionality over looks.

>>16719154
What the others said. Gated looks cool but it's less practical.

gated for aesthetics

Boot, too paranoid that I'd drop stuff in the gate

what's the point honestly, it takes 10x the effort to be smooth with a manual compared to an automatic

This.

Most cars are automatic today for a reason.

Protip; its because they are better.

What did he mean by this

Will i eventually be smooth with a manual as I am on an automatic (piss easy)

Almost week 2.

>>16719670
at least the +/- is correct

>>16719670
That better be a DSG, even though it's still slower than a real manual.

just get somebody to also steer for you and get in the back seat

>decide to see what this whole manual meme is all about
>I have a friend that's a total /o/-tist, has a riced out integra with various /osg/ and touhou stickers all over the back
>he's willing to teach me
>i bring my girlfriend along because she's curious about it too
>Me: "Hey anon, how's it going?"
>Him: "y-y-you too"
>Me: "lol what??"
>he's kinda awkward but whatever I shrug it off and let my gf in the back while I get into the passenger seat
>Him: "S-s-so In order to get moving, lift your foot up from the clutch pedal until the RPMs drop slightly and apply light pressure to the accelerator. Balance the light downward pressure on the accelerator with slowly releasing pressure on the clutch pedal. You will probably have to do this several times blah blah blah...."
>me and my gf are rolling our eyes
>Me: "Holy shit man haha, we came here to learn how to drive manual, not do rocket science like Preston from Big Bang Theory lol"
>my gf giggles
>friend is getting flustered
>Me: "Haha sorry man, go on"
>Him: "S-so now you take the gear shift knob straight down from 1st gear into the bottom left..."
>Me:"Hold on, what the hell are you doing?"
>Him: "T-t-the gear shift..."
>Me: "Haha you're telling me you have to touch the car's dick to get it moving? Haha just like me, right babe?"
>my gf is now giggling uncontrollably
>friend is getting visibly red and is now starting to tremble and sweat
>I realize this is a waste of time
>Me: "Haha hey man actually you know thanks for taking the time to show us this manual thing but I think we're good, let's just meet up at the movie theatre"
>i can see his lips quivering like he's almost so angry he could cry
>Him:"o-o-ok"
>me and gf ride in my GT-R to the theatre while friend follows behind

I felt kinda bad embarrassing him like that especially since I know he has a crush on my gf so I make it up to him by buying him some popcorn

They are finicky to adjust and maintain. On a normal shifter if the bushings start to go the shifter feels a bit shittier. On a gate if the bushings start to go you can lose the ability to shift into some gears. Lots of gate shifted cars are also mid engine which adds even more complication because the shift shaft/rods are longer, and they need even more dampening to prevent vibration from the engine and drivetrain.

>>16719154
gate plates are for cars with shitty shifter feel, so I'll take a boot style and a decent shifter.

>>16725076
What car did you drive with shitty shifter feel and a gate?

>>16719269
This.
Actually, to be honest gated is a pain in the ass. It turns what would be one fluid motion selecting a diagonal gear into three movements.

>>16725094
Which car did you drive that had a gated shifter and you found was a "pain in the ass"?

>>16724790
It's a shame you're illiterate or else you'd see the filename.

>traditional vs "my shifter uses cables and mushy bushings and without a gated lever the gears would be impossible to find consistently"

Traditional

>>16725105
Oh shit good point. Didn't even look.

>>16725102
Ferrari 308.

>>16725350
I doubt it, even a worn out 308 shifter doesn't result in "three movements" to shift. Non gated shifters don't shift diagonally btw. Your posts reek of nonsense.

>>16725350
Nigga the 308 has a glorious feel to shifting gears. Stiff clutch, but the hand motion feels great

>>16725398
This isn't true either, the 308 shifter is pretty rough not because of the gate or the clutch pedal, the shift shaft goes through the crankcase and the gearbox resulting in a lot of resistance. Welcome to /o/, the only place on the internet where 2 people who have never driven a car get into a debate on how it drives

>>16725423
I didn't say it was like butter, but it feels good

I actually have driven it, one of only a few cool cars I've driven. My friend's dad owns one, along with a '69 Corvette and a Ferrari 360

>>16724550
The most practical shifter for daily driving, it's so comfortable using on highways

>>16721567
>enjoyment
Manual is such a handicap. I drove someone else's automatic car for once today and it was so braindead-easy and comfortable.

admittedly an automatic car is boring and felt more like a chore, but I can't help and feel that driving a manual car as a daily driver may have been a mistake.

>>16719154
I prefer when the reverse is on the far right hand side
