The absentees

For all its talk of delivering unmatched driver engagement, Alfa Romeo does not offer the Giulia with a manual transmission in the US. Every variant of the Giulia ranging from the base model to the bloodthirsty Quadrifoglio uses the same eight-speed automatic transmission.
Mercedes-Benz doesn’t offer a single model with a manual transmission in the US.  Acura, Buick, Chrysler, Ferrari, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Maserati, Ram, Smart and Volvo are also on the list of companies that kicked the stick-shift out of their portfolio.

Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86

Subaru and Toyota couldn’t have credibly developed a nimble, rear-wheel drive coupe aimed at Mazda’s MX-5 Miata roadster without making it available with a manual transmission. The BRZ/86 twins come standard with a six-speed stick regardless of price or trim level. An automatic is available at an extra cost on most variants.

Jeep Wrangler

Now in its fourth generation, the Jeep Wrangler continues to offer a standard manual transmission. The firm points out it geared first and reverse particularly low to help the Wrangler get over rough terrain with ease. Glancing at the specifications sheet reveals the off-roader is slowly succumbing to the rise of the automatic, however.
The manual is only offered with the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6. Stepping up to the optional 2.0-liter turbo four (which uses a 48-volt starter-generator) requires selecting the eight-speed automatic Jeep charges $2000 for. Factor in the $1000 charge for the four-cylinder and the Wrangler’s price jumps by $3000

Mini Hardtop

Mini is in something of a limbo. It goes into the 2020 model year without its usual six-speed manual transmission. However, the company says it will make a return before the start of the 2021 model year. We're glad to hear it. The short-throw shifter emphasizes the smaller Hardtop models’ kart-like handling. The plug-in hybrid variant of the Countryman predictably comes only with a six-speed automatic, which is par for the course in its segment.

Toyota Corolla Hatch

Introduced at the 2018 New York auto show, the Toyota Corolla Hatch stands out as one of the newest cars available with a stick. The six-speed unit is an alternative to a clever but complicated continuously variable transmission (CVT) that starts in an actual first gear before switching to the belt-drive system. This setup attenuates the rubber band-like acceleration often associated with a CVT, according to Toyota. It adds $1100 to the cost of a Corolla Hatch regardless of which trim level buyers select. The stick is comparatively simple: clutch in, next gear in, clutch out.

Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma, Toyota’s smallest pickup truck, is available with a stick if you tick the right boxes. The entry-level Tacoma SR and most of the TRD-badged models come only with a six-speed automatic transmission. Toyota makes a manual available TRD Pro (pictured) model, which is aimed at buyers who want to go far off the beaten path.

Lotus Evora GT

Lotus updated the Evora with an eye on the American market for the 2020 model year. Now wearing the GT suffix, the mid-engined coupe became the most powerful road-going car Lotus has ever sold in the United States thanks to a 3.5-liter V6 engine supercharged to 416 HP. The standard transmission remains a six-speed manual but an automatic is available at an extra cost.

Porsche 911

Porsche would cause riots all around the world if it stopped offering the 911 with a stick. Cars equipped with the seven-speed manual transmission are normally a little bit slower than their automatic counterparts but a sizable percentage of buyers nonetheless opt for three pedals.
The German firm makes an exception for its GT-series cars, which all come with an automatic transmission. ‘I’m sure we could sell a GT3 RS with a manual, no doubt, but not everything that sells makes sense,’ GT division boss Andreas Preuninger told Autocar. The latest 992 generation of 911 (pictured) isn't yet available with a stick in the US, but we're almost certain it will happen soon.

Chevrolet Camaro

The new Corvette C8 may have gone to the dark side, but the Camaro is keeping the faith. Every Camaro is available with a stick shift, from those equipped with puny four-cylinder engines all the way up to the fire-breathing dragon that is the 650 HP ZL1 1LE (pictured). Sadly, rumors that the Camaro would receive the Corvette C7’s seven-speed turned out to be false; Chevrolet’s pony car carries on with a six-speed.

Mazda Mazda3

Mazda positions the Mazda3 as the enthusiast’s choice in the segment but it has a difficult time making a business case for the manual transmission. While every trim level previously came standard with a stick, only the range-topping, front-wheel drive variant of the redesigned hatchback released in 2019 is offered with three pedals. The entry-level hatchback, the all-wheel drive model and every version of the Madza3 sedan are automatic-only. We predict the 3’s manual option won’t last very long, sadly.

Hyundai Veloster N

Hyundai’s first entry into America’s hot hatch segment is a home run. The Veloster is an asymmetrical, 250 HP fast hatch that demonstrates the South Korean brand can excel even in areas it has little experience in. Hyundai was confident enough in its ability to take on Volkswagen in the segment it helped create that it released the Veloster N exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. The rumor claiming a dual-clutch automatic gearbox is right around the corner hasn’t come true yet.

Porsche 718

While it’s no longer possible to stick-shift a Cayenne, Porsche remains committed to offering its dedicated sports cars with a manual transmission for as long as possible. Every version of the 718 is available with a six-speed stick, from the entry-level Cayman to the flagship, flat-six-powered GT4. Porsche’s dual-clutch automatic shifts much quicker than a human but many enthusiasts wouldn’t give up a few tenths of a second for the satisfaction of shifting their own gears. The 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder are manual only.

Volkswagen Golf

Volkswagen sells three versions of the Golf hatchback in the US: the standard model, the GTI, the R (pictured) and the e-Golf. The first three are all available with a manual transmission.
In the Golf, the five-speed is offered mostly as a budget-friendly choice for buyers who don’t want to pay $1100 for a six-speed automatic. In contrast, Volkswagen makes a six-speed manual available in the GTI and the R to satisfy enthusiasts seeking a more analog car.

Honda Civic

The coupe, sedan and hatchback variants of the Honda Civic are available with a six-speed manual transmission. Honda charges $800 to equip base models with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Buyers who move up in the trim hierarchy unlock the CVT at no extra cost.
Honda’s hot rod Civic, the 306 HP Type R, is only offered with a six-speed manual transmission. It’s a model-specific close-ratio unit with Honda’s Rev-Match Control technology.

Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang came standard with a three-speed manual transmission when it made its debut in early 1964. Ford charged precisely $179.80 (about $1460 in 2019 money) for its Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Fast-forward 54 years and the Mustang still comes standard with a manual. It has twice the number of gears, and buyers who want the optional 10-speed automatic need to pay $1595 for it. The wonderful Bullitt (pictured) and Shelby GT350 special editions are only available in manual while the GT500 range-topper isn't offered with three pedals.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The supercharged, 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 engine powers three cars: Dodge’s Challenger and Charger plus the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Only the Challenger gives buyers the option of shifting themselves. The standard transmission is a six-speed manual and Dodge charges $2995 for an eight-speed automatic.
The Hellcat and Hellcat Widebody are among the four Challenger variants offered with a manual transmission. All come with a V8 engine. V6-powered models are automatic-only

Chevrolet Corvette


The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette had at least one feature in common with the Porsche 911: a seven-speed manual transmission. Porsche beat Chevrolet to the punch; it started offering a seven-speed when it introduced the 991-generation 911 in 2011, about three years before the seventh-generation Corvette made its debut. But the all-new, mid-engined Corvette C8 lost its clutch pedal, sad to say.

BMW 2 Series & 4 Series

BMW, the self-appointed purveyor of the ultimate driving machine, offers most variants of the entry-level 2 Series (pictured) with a six-speed manual transmission. The automatic-only models in the range are the 230i convertible and cars equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive.
The manual transmission is a no-cost option on the 230i and the M240i. The alternative is a ubiquitous eight-speed automatic manufactured by ZF. The M2 comes with a six-speed stick, too, but its automatic option is a seven-speed dual-clutch unit with shift paddles that BMW charges $2900 for.
The new 3 Series may have gone automatic-only, but for now the two-door 4 Series (based on the previous 3 Series) is still available with a manual, though not on convertibles except for the M4.

I am following....you guys think i am in support of luvinghubby cos i called him.I said we should hear both sides and find a middle ground.I know how it feels to look at it from the perceived arrogance of the seller.i only dealt with him once and no bad experience.He said all gear boxes for baby boy I4 are the same(his bad for not sticking to spec)...that fact we cant establish.
No! He admitted UK spec is different just like that of a V6 engine is different. And it is the UK spec he sent according to OP and what he requested for was a US spec gearbox. So it is evident luvinhubby is wrong here but his pride and arrogance, as usual, will not let him apologise for the long delay and to do the needful.

luvinhubby:
Just got back to town after being away for 5weeks doing a project in my village and couldn't respond because of poor and erratic data coverage in my hometown. Sincerely appreciate everyone that called and sent chats concerning this to me.

All baby boy 4 cylinder engine use the same gearbox, both America and Europe spec, the only ones different is the UK spec and V6.

If gears have issues after being sold, a trusted rewire is sourced by dealer to rectify it and in the event that it cannot be rectified, a replacement is made upon returning the former gear or a refund if no other one available.
Services of reliable gear rewire was turned down twice and gear speed sensors requested by op which was sent to him.
Called my attention late August that he wants a replacement and was not ready to return the previous one which is NOT a norm in auto parts transactions globally. Was willing to do that but told the op it can only be done when i am personally around and asked him to call me on the weekend to see if am back.
Saw a text from him instead calling me a criminal who intends to defraud him and as matter of principle, i don't respond to offensive communications in transactions.


Will need the op to point out the criminal intent observed by him in all my transactions with him within the next 24hrs, if he does so successfully, i will refund the 85k plus and additional 15k to him and post the transaction details here. If not, i will strictly enforce the market conditions of gear transactions on this transaction.
Did you say you were even willing to give a new gearbox without being sent the first one you sent? That is a pure lie Sir. No dealer will do that. Not even the same you that was once called out on a defective part you sold and your defence was that you do not issue refund for a defective part that has not been returned to your shop (I read that in a thread you were called out some years back). And for your information, if I were in OP's shoes I will also reject you repairing something I bought new from you. Who does that? How can I buy something and it turned out to be defective and instead of it to be replaced or I get refunded, you'll now tell me to carry it to a Kazeem you recommend to fix? If I were willing to go with a defective gearbox in the first instance, I would've jeyjeyly taken my own spoilt gearbox to a repairer and not a supposed good replacement I purchased. Moreover, we are talking about you sending the wrong gearbox and not a defective one so I really dunno which one you're saying the OP refused the gearbox to be repaired.
