you guys just asked the same Q: ... I dunno if you read the thread at all but these are the benefits.
Key Features:

- Greatly improved off-the-line acceleration.
- Reduced wheel hop.
- Improved vehicle stability.
- Reduced shock loads on driveline components.
- Smoother shifting.
- Reduced wear on exhaust system joints. - Less vibration transmission to the driver compared to polyurethane motor mounts.
- Less shock load, compared to torque straps and chains.
- Drifting – helps reduce shock loads when wheels gain traction.
- Reduces motor movement – decreases the chance of motor parts rubbing against the hood and frame.
I don't see where there would be a difference between auto and maunual other than "smoother shifting"

This damper looks like a mountain bikes shock damper. It's almost the same size and hopefully having similar damping ratio. With a bike damper and some handworking for the mounting brakets, probably I can make mine. I'll try it soon...

It is made a bit different the bracketry is stout and engineered to make all of the difference when coupled with the damper. The damper itself is adjustable and can be set based upon personal settings.

well.. bottom line is, the upside will be all those listed below and the only down side is.. your car will shake alot lot. I end up selling mine but these mod is good for drag / boosted cars. I just try to keep my car's rid smooth as much as possible. (with a drop, you can't really avoid those)
