shift?!? Im talking bout the Acura TL 2009 and the Acura TSX 2009

manual=stick shiftautomatic means just that....

5 speed manual = stick shift5 speed automatic = automatic.5 speed just refers to the number of gears the car has.

Are you refering to the Triptrionic shifter. That mean you can drive the car auto. But you can also manual shift by the side where there's a ( + & - ) by moving up and down.

5 speed manual = stick shift5 speed automatic = automatic.and paddle sifters for both of them.I have an tsx 2009(:

Something doesn't sound quite right...If Acura marketing information identifies a 5 speed transmission, it's an automatic transmission. Both the new TL and TSX offer a Sport Shift feature that lets you manually perform forced up/downshifts...it's still an automatic transmission however.Currently, the 2009 TL, either the base model, or the SH-AWD version, are only available with a 5 speed automatic. Acura promises to offer a 6 speed manual option for 2010.The new TSX is offered with a 6 speed manual transmission option.
