Manual Only is a club with a simple entry test and a limited shelf life. Manual gearboxes are leaving the market fastest at the enthusiast end, which is the wrong end, and the people still driving them are worth putting in one place while there are still enough of them.
For verified owners of a manual car. Registration papers and an ownership photo.
What happens here: clutch, flywheel and gearbox threads with real mileage and rebuild costs, short shifter and pedal box options, technique threads that stay useful rather than smug, used-manual listings worth knowing about, and drives chosen for roads rather than distance.
