    Default manual or auto

    just thought i would see others opinions on this, now that the new motor is well and truly run in i'm having clutch issues already, it's a brand new standard vc clutch on a machined flywheel but it doesn't seem to be handling the extra power that the motor has and has started slipping a tad under heavy treatment, as i have a spare auto vc sitting in the shed i have everything i need to convert it to an auto, but i like my manuals, so what should i do spend the cash on a new performance clutch or convert the old girl to auto, but bare in mind if i convert her to auto that means the missus can drive it, not sure if thats a good or bad thing yet
