The Manual Gearbox Preservation Society

The Manual Gearbox Preservation Society A society dedicated to the joyful experience of driving cars with a manual transmission. We are the guardians of a dying art. We are the masters of our machines.

The purveyors of a craft born of necessity, but beloved for its spirt. We travel with purpose regardless of our destination. Every corner an opportunity for the perfect downshift, every stop a new starting line. We find joy in those fleeting moments between ratios; the crescendo of rpm, the gentle click of the gate, the building inertia in our chest as the drivetrain becomes whole again. We are The Manual Gearbox Preservation Society!

With metal-rod linkage, multi-cone synchros, and satisfying throws, shifting the Honda S2000's manual transmission feels like operating a bolt-action rifle.
