Putting aside the dynamic challenges that come with our long-term Eclipse GT's nose-heavy layout, I get a lot of pleasure shifting its six-speed manual transmission. The shifter feels firm and precise through the gates, and clutch engagement and takeup are progressive. It makes the Eclipse more fun than you'd expect to drive around the city... in many ways, this gearbox is just as satisfying as the ones in our long-term BMW 330i and Mazda MX-5...
