Ive driven both. A manual 135 has pretty similar shift points to the auto in my experience.


And he was responding to a comment about STis.
Not from my experience after driving both extensively. The manual equipped 135/335 most definitely have longer gears than the auto. I don't remember the exact ratios for each, but I do remember that the manual has a final drive of 3.06 while the auto has a final drive of 3.46.
