RE: Im new to this
Autostick is like having a manual and auto transmission in one (without the clutch pedal). I had it on a 2001 VW Jetta and loved it! Simple to use and really fun! On the VW they called it Tiptronic though but here's a picture of what it looks like. Different models differ in their setup but basically you just slap it right for a higher gear and slap it left for a lower gear..
