Get a PDK or TipTronic

As for AutoX, around here the courses are small, you never get out of second and unless you are an experienced AutoX driver, the PDK or Tip will likely not make much difference on your performance since AutoX is more about driver skill and suspension than anything else.

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah I was kinda dead set on a manual. I miss my lotus very much and was hoping to bridge the gap a little and get another manual car. The 2000 S I drove had 60k miles and the 02 had 85k (believe it or not the 02 was better to drive). Sounds like this is pretty normal for boxsters then. I'm surprised at the difference between the boxster and the 911.

No joke the 996 which had 70k on it and stock everything had the easiest clutch pedal I've ever felt. It shifted perfectly. I would "Man Up", but for real the traffic out here sometimes is a nightmare so having that heavy of a clutch pedal woudn't work and I hate automatics in sports cars.

Bad batch of cars. I have owned two boxsters 02 and "3 and both were very smooth and easy. Nothing like you are describing. Try again and make sure it wasnt just those two.
