Auto stick goes waty further than a slapstick.

Spapstick was the shifter only ,there was a spring that held pressure to the locks in the shifter that allowed positive upshifts of the tranny without fear of "missing"a gear!

Push the button and pull back and get positive one at a time downshifts!

slapstick...purely machanical!

Autostick ... electronicly controlls shifting up and down by "activating "autostick mode .

push the lever to th right (i think) controlls upshifts,pull the lever to the right and you downshift!

Also being electronic the "brain" can shift to protect the trany if it over revs'

best of all it firms up the shifts considably.

Autostick ...electronics!
