Jester asks about the feasibility of putting a slip-o-matic
into a Spitfire:

Blasphemy! Don't do it! But wait, the solution is obvious. If your
GF can't learn to handle the gearbox, teach her to replace the clutch!
Actually, let her do that job once while you supervise, and I'm sure
she will accelerate on the learning curve as far as driving the box.
And you'll both be happier.
