Driver Memory Recall...
This is a stupid question, and I may already know the answer, but does the automatic memory recall only work for automatics and not 6spd? The manual mentions it, but has automatic in parentheses.
I assume in a 6spd you will always have to hit the memory button when you first get in.
Let me know if I'm missing something here...
Thanks!

With the manual tranny you have to have the hand brake set and the car not in motion to use the memory recall. Does not need to be running or anything else.
All the talk about clutch, start button, shift to netural, etc. is incorrect.

I will pay very close attention when I take to the Cheby stealer to have my driver side lo-beam replace under warranty this evening after 31 days and 2500 miles.

My start up sequence is also just a little different. I get in, close the door and hit the #1 button. Once the seat and steering wheel have quit moving, fasten the seat beat. Then depress the clutch and hit the start button. I've always been afraid to fasten the seat belt and then hit the #1 button for fear the seat belt latching mechanism will activate and the moving seat will squeeze the stuffing out of me. It's never happened, but it is a fear.
