I suppose some day when my knees give out or my leg "goes bum" on me I'll have to consider an automatic. Other than an "injury" it leaves me totally baffled why you would even consider an auto for a Cobra.

On that note, you can without a doubt damage a stock C4. At the very least it MUST have a shift kit and 2nd gear (was it clutch or band that drives 2nd, been so long I forget?) HAVE to be beefed up. It's "banging" second to many times that will lead to less than "crisp" shifts into 2nd over time. That is THE weakness of the C4. The "planetarys" (gears) are OK. An increase of "line pressure" and friction materials should do that trick.

Hmmm,,,,I wasn't aware that it was "easy" to bolt a C6 onto a 302, by the way!
