Back in July, when AutoGuide.com reviewed the 2013 Cadillac ATS, Editor-in-Chief Colum Wood extolled the virtues of its handling, but also commented on the shortcomings of the car’s manual transmission. It appears AutoGuide wasn’t the only one that felt the manual transmission could be better.
The American automaker has stopped production on the 2013 ATS sedans so that it can rework the six-speed manual transmission. More specifically, Cadillac is looking into using a softer bushing setup to make the shifter feel more precise.
It will be interesting to see the solution that Cadillac finds for the ATS sedan, and whether or not it’ll replace it on the vehicles already sold to the public. The six-speed manual transmission is only offered on the ATS powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 hp.
