RE: HOW CAN YOU TELL WHETHER THE MDS CYLINDER SHUTOFF SYSTEM IS WORKING??
Rememeber MDS closes the valves and disengages the valves on 4 of the cylinders based on the computer measuring speed, load, acceleration etc.
With a manual, you have taken over part of the the computer would do automatically and if you could set it up to disengage 4 of the cylinders
it would jerk the car because of the direct gearing in a manual instead of using a torque converter which absorbs the transition.
Having a 6 speed with a high overdrive, you will get good mpg when you put it in high gear anyway when you are cruising on the highway.
