We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Please do not get rid of the Manual Transmission in all cars.

Created by H.F. on November 30, 2016

It has been a long time since the manual transmission has been the standard transmission for automobiles, if not the only transmission you can get. Automatic transmission cars are as easy to drive as a golf cart and because in this day age, more people are unable, if not lazy to drive a manual transmission as the automatic only requires you to go into the D gear and let the transmission do all the shifting for you.

We understand the automatic transmission should still be offered as another choice for drivers who just need to get from point A to point B where they want to rest their arm and left leg, especially around everyday traffic. But the manual transmission must not stop, help to save the manuals so that we can teach others that it's the most proper way of learning how to drive.
