well I have a manual Spyder, and the box is as sweet as can be. If they are properly adjusted there are no issues aside from a slight reluctance to find reverse on the coldest of mornings.
Many garages have no clue how to adjust and lubricate the manual linkage, so fairy stories abound about how hard it is. Gary Tait at F1 (Burntwood) did mine a few years ago and it's been fine ever since.
Once warm its finger and thumb changes only. Compared to the significant issues you get with CC boxes/clutches I have to say that the minor issues with the manual are small beer!
