I`ve been complaining about this for a very long time. Despite the fact that I don't think it would be too difficult to code in some sort of basic functionality for auto boxes, it would definitely make some of the older members come back and also attract new members. There is no other sim (that i know of) which has a proper auto box implemented, apart from the cars in Mafia I which sometimes did kick down when going up hills .
Just a thought (an old one at that).
