    My situation exactly. I don't have the luxury of being able to use both hands or feet. Only my right hand side works. I actually love the way the SE5 shifts. I love the way the "nanny" alows u to do wicked burnouts until you back off abit and the traction control kicks in. That was a surprise for me and I am left wondering why they might have "built this in" to the design other than to allow us "automatic" (read tiptronic) riders to be hooligans once in a while. When hard on the gas this thing shifts as well as any manual I have ever ridden. I understand the value of a clutch, it allowed me to do things like in my signiture... but those days are over...
    p.s. the Ferrari F430 with tip-tronic apparently uses a similar gearbox design as the SE5 but I wonder if they have problems?
