THE C200K Sports Coupe is available with a six-speed manual transmission as a delete option to the standard adaptive five-speed 'Tipshift' automatic. The sequential self-shifter allows drivers to downchange by pushing the gearlever to the left and to upchange by pushing right. Unlike other semi-automatic transmissions, it won't upshift on its own - even at redline - but it does have the ability to downchange automatically, even in 'manual' mode. The auto is an adaptive type which independently changes the shift characteristics on the basis of comparison of feedback from a variety of sensors.
