Same here. I test drove a civic sedan manual before buying CTR. That one was easier to shift than CTR but had no feedback. CTR I think is just right, enough feedback but easy at the same time. So you know when you got into gear. I still liked my 95 Integra GSR manual better but that's just me.I can confirm. Super smooth. Almost all reviews of the CTR say that its shifter is the best they have ever used.
But I have to say the auto brake once engaged eliminates the pain point when stop and go traffic makes you stop uphill or downhill. I had a rolling fender bender once where at a signal where my foot shifted off the brake just a little when I reached out to get something from the rear seat and my car rolled down and touched the front car's fender. With this mechanism it is now no longer that stress there. I wish CTR had a feature where it remembered that and always engaged auto-brake. I have to remember to engage it now every time i start driving. Not sure if someone found a workaround to make it permanent in settings yet.
Also the rev match also makes sure that you don't get the abrupt hit if you accidentally go to 2 instead of 4 etc. So all in all very nice. Even though I had not driven a manual in more than 15 years, within one week my gear shifts have become much smoother as confirmed by family in the rear seats.
