Driving a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia AutoStick

[@davidgrisez]

Since I was born in 1951 I remember these Volkswagen Beetles and Volkswagen Karmann Ghias that had as an option the Volkswagen Auto Stick transmission. Basically the Auto Stick transmission was a 3 speed manual transmission with a torque converter and automatic clutch. The forward speeds were labeled low, first and second. The idea was the around city streets the car could be left in first, then when a person went on the highway they could shift to second for highway driving. The standard transmission for these Volkswagen Beetles and Volkswagen Karmann Ghias was a four speed manual transmission.
