Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

The last Cadillac 3-speed manual transmission until Hydramatic became standard equipment in 1954 was synchronized in 2nd and 3rd gears only, as were all other US car transmissions of that era I'm familiar with.  The next Cadillacs offered with a manual gearbox, the Cimarron, must have had a fully synchronized 4-speed transmission, as did most US cars by the '80s, but I'm not sure.  The CTS, the next Cadillac offered with a manual transmission, the 2002 CTS did have a fully synchronized transmission.
