He posted again and pointed out that direct drive is only used in traditional RWD FR layouts. In FWD and MR/RR layouts it's not possible to have direct drive.

So, it wouldn't even be worth the development cost for manual transmissions...how many RWD manual transmissions are sold anymore? Very few!
