actually one more question for FJamming

when your riding the clutch and atrac isnt engaging how much of a downside is this?
Since I have the MT I will answer it for you.

I say zero Down side, I essentially do the same thing that A-Trac does while heal toeing so A-Trac is a wast if you know how to use all 3 pedals at the same time since you are doing what it is, applying the brakes to force the other wheel(s) to spin. I turn on A-trac every now and again just to play with it and the only time I've found it to be useful is on a hill climb that isn't crazy steep were you can go up the hill with just a little gas and no feathering of the clutch. The locker on the other hand is great and has been very handy.
