Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

Does anyone know if the Clutch Start Cancel switch is supposed to be illuminated with the dash lights? Thanks

 

No, only when you use it.

 

It should be available in Off Road instead of Sport!

 

In the winter mornings I'll use my clutch start cancel to start my truck and let it warm up (to not have to jump in to start it). Itl stay on until I get to work and shut the truck off. So yes, it only stays on when you use it.

 

Extra lights on my dash annoy me. I do the same thing sometimes, but I shut it down and restart it when I get so that light won't be on.

 

It was funny. yesterday i had my tires balanced at discount tire. The two techs had no idea how to put it in reverse. I was in a time crunch and had to show them cuz they were wasting time
. haha.

 

I'm not sure what all of that means but it sounds like a simpler time. I think I like it.

 

I don't know where it is on your dash of your 98 but on the second gens it's lower left of the steering wheel so it ain't too noticeable.

 

It's in the same place. It's a light that isn't normally on, so of course, I notice it and it bothers me.

Just my pet peeve! Like why is the high beam indicator light so bright? You normally have that on while driving at night on a dark road, that bright light hurts your night vision.

 

Lol....I get it, I'm kinda the same way.

 

So, I am also one of the ones who wants a DC LB MT. I've just gone and ordered one at the dealer, will see what happens.

 

You will get a BCLB AT

 

Manual is the best.

 

Hey Jon, how's it going?

 

Hey Rob. It goes. Just can't shift.

 

I must have missed something, I took a few days off from TW over the holidays. What happened?

 

Another manual taco review

I have a 2010 sport 4x4 double cab love the 6 speed manual except for the reverse is to high hard to back up with a heavy trailer and 6 gear really need to be a true over drive only 200 rpm diff from 5th to 6th this would give these trucks better gas mileage​

 

According to the specs on the 2016 the issues with the RA60 six speed have been addressed with the new RC62 six speed.

 

Hey guys!

Looking to get 2016 TRD Offroad manual. Have few of questions:

1) How hard is the clutch pedal, would it be taxing on your leg/foot in stop and go traffic? Also is it a long throw? I have had some foot injuries in the past but still I wish to get it since they're more engaging and eventually my boys can learn too.

2) I heard there is no seat height adjustment, is that true? On occasion if my wife were to drive it would she have visibility issues, she's only 5'2. What do you think is the minimum height requirement?

3) Rear seat comfortable enough for few hours drive?
