Default Manual Hope

There seems to be good news regarding the C8 having a manual gear box. I read that GM submitted a patten for a new manual gear setup for C8. Maybe a ray of hope. Artical also mentioned that 20 some odd percent for manuals sold for the C7 was not a number GM should ignore. C8 with no manual loses my sale.

Just delete the thread, there are already 2 other threads in the C8 section about this, OP didn't bother to read. This thread just adds more clutter to the board.

This isn't really correct. GM did not submit a patent for a C8 manual. It submitted a patent for electrically actuated vice hydraulic clutch. Nothing refers to the C8.
