P-Lip

[Magpiety]

Road & Track and other car magazines have been lamenting the demise of the manual for many years.

Here's what's really killing the manual transmission

Most mainstream cars don't offer a stick at all, and those that do sell in minuscule numbers. What about the cars that regular enthusiasts buy?

I've been buying Corollas as my work cars for a few years now, which they still put sticks in. I get them off the lot a few years old for ~14k dollars, put 300k miles on them, and then sell them for 4-5k. It's amazing that they keep that much value with such high mileage.

I prefer the stick for driving on the ice and snow, plus it's just fun lol.

Does the shift knob have a p-lip? I insisted on stick for years, now happy with automatic- and the paddles on the steering wheel that allow shifting without a clutch pedal.

My biggest problem is the name. It just sounds like either a speech impediment or something a Russian prostitute would do.

The association I have is that it reminds of the old world cure for cold sores...

My first time with a P-lip I went for a stroll, and as I was crossing the road initially I thought "This is insanity, how could anyone get used to this feeling?" By the end of my neighbourhood stroll I decided it was actually quite comfortable and I now regularly smoke them.

It’s similar but the opening is a slot rather than a hole like a p-lip.

so it’s basically a direct copy of the Peterson system but with a piece of modeling wood stuck in the tenon.
