William , You said: "Almost exactly half of the production was half auto, half stick". That is incorrect. The original plan was a 50/50 split, but when it was realized that there was a far greater demand for the manual vs. the auto, production ratios were modified. I don't have the numbers but less than 1/3 of the total production run were automatics. DMC Joe / DeLorean Services / <dmcjoe@xxxx> Web Site: <http://www.deloreanservices.com>
