[QUOTE="Mark B, post: 699406, member: 61411"] Since the government is looking to make electronic roll/stability control systems mandatory by 2012, I'm wondering how they work with manual transmissions? As I understand, the system acts, on it's own, to apply brakes and control engine speed in order to keep the car upright. That's a good thing but, say, I'm in 5th gear and the stability system acts to slow the vehicle. What keeps the engine from lugging or stalling in gear? Just curious. Do the systems rely on the driver to hit the clutch and then match gear to speed (while the car may be whipping around)? Are real manual trannies doomed by 2012? Or maybe, I just overestimate the amount of independent action these systems can take. Anybody know the deal? [/QUOTE]
