Doesn't the manual transmission just stop your acceleration at a certain speed?

If it's a hill climbing issue, a different transmission isn't going to help.

Auto transmission does this too.

You can still use any gear you want with the current system, nothing is lost really.

everyone simply got used to climbing up unrealistically steep hills with the old manual transmissions. the gear ratios may be just a bit off, but there is no way to really tell. crawling in first gear up a 30 degree incline is realistic.

Neither one of those transmissions are realistic, so we might as well go with the one that easier to use. The old one was not manual, we have/had no clutch, no throttle, and could not skip gears. So I say keep it as it is right now.
