No manual transmission ?

[SandMartin]

It is a very pity and disappoints that in this briliant game there is no manual transmission.
I hope someone can hack it and implement this function into it.

I think it's more so the fact that half the cars in DSF never came with a manual transmission and automakers especially back then had stricter policies and standards on how their normal vehicles could be depicted in video games. Also, with all the controls and mechanics the game has already, it would have been a pain to implement.
