actually in all honesty i had to buy it, i have a problem with my left leg, i can walk perfectly fine, but after a while of clutch action or walking my leg aches like fook and i get bad pains, after numerouse x-rays i was told i have a hollow bone in the bottom of my left leg.

no worries tho, i will have a manual again one day!
