manumatic
adj.— «Ultimately, the automatic and manual survived as the two mainstays. Now we have the modern “manumatic,” a term meaning that you can use the console-mounted shift lever in both the normal PRNDL (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low—or sometimes D4, D3 or D2, etc.) configurations and slap the thing sideways to turn it into a Ricky Racer type gearbox that lets you shift manually (if clutchlessly) into any number of forward gears.» —“Nuts And Jolts” by Michael Taylor San Francisco Chronicle (California) July 7, 2006.
