                         3a. TRANSMISSION TYPE (GTTRT)
                         =============================



------
Manual - In manual transmissions, the driver must switch from gear to gear him/
------   herself.  A lot of experienced drivers and racers use this type of
         tranny because of the added control it gives.  Manuals also give
         faster acceleration than automatic transmissions.  In day to day
         driving, more people use automatics for the ease of use in traffic and
         there is less maintenance/skill required.
----
Auto - With this type of transmission, the car's cpu does all of the shifting
----   for you.  The shifting is a lot smoother for inexperienced drivers.
       Some high-end performance racers use this type so they can worry about
       other things going on in the car.  It is argued that for performance
       cars, an auto transmission can get from gear to gear faster than a
       manual.
