Cadillac suspends production of stick-shift ATS as it looks to sort issue - Latest Cars Wallpapers

According to Motor Trend, the problem has more to do with the subjective performance and feel of the gearbox rather than any technical issues. During a comparison with the new 3-series, Motor Trend staffers found the transmission's throws were imprecise and led to many missed gears. The manual is only offered on one of the engines offered in the ATS, the 2.0-liter, turbo inline four good for 272 horsepower.

The fix is said to involve installing softer bushings in the transmission linkage to improve feel and get rid of the issue.

It's not likely these ill-shifting manual-transmission cars will actually reach customers, as the car in the comparison may have been a pre-production unit. Only auto ATS models are currently on sale and shipping to customers and it's likely Cadillac will address the issue before any manuals are sold.
