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

Thank you


How were you able to see what allocation another dealer had ?

Appreciate the help

 

I like a low first gear. I kinda miss the old granny gear transmissions where you started in 2nd gear unless you had a heavy load or a steep hill.

 

That's what I'm thinking. It is still a truck right ?

 

For casual, economical driving, at what speeds/RPMs do you shift out of First, Second, Third and Fourth? Typically, I use first to get the truck rolling up to 10, and then shift to second...

 

True, first is very low and I shift out of it right away. But second is quite a bit taller and the truck doesn't easily take off in second. Then again mine only has 100 miles and not broken in and I haven't reved it that high. But I still get the feeling second wouldn't be ideal for take offs. .02

 

Same. I hold 3rd for a little bit longer. Switch to 4th. then 6th.... 5 is often skipped or for times when I'm on back roads and 6th is just not practical.

 

You have a pm.

 

I shift at/b

You got that because you got the Orange interior. Those orange plastic pieces pop right off and can be painted. I didn't get the orange interior so mine are silver. My next mod is to pop them off and paint them.

 

So lucky I found a TRD OR access cab 6speed. Solid little truck.

 

I thought those were only in Canada

 

Just saw you bought a 2015 not a 2016 my bad

 

Want to trade? I want mine silver but dont want to botch them up trying to paint them.

 

Lets clear things up, this can be ordered exactly the way you want it, a Toyota Tacoma can not be ordered the way u want it.

 

Can't get a manual turbo

 

With the boxer engine the world truly feels flat. Horizontally opposed for life!

 

No manual in my new GT3RS, honestly to much going on to worry about shifting, thats why i got the Tacoma with a MT.

 

Had a brz sold it, missed it, got a truck with manual and power. I feel better now.

 

I love the look of the brz, but doesnt it feel gutless till 5000rpm or so?

 

Yep it has a bad dip in the power due to the d4s/emissions. For the weight of the vehicle it could have a little more hp/torque but still a fun car.

 

Thank you for the answer, I really didn't want to come off as a hater, and I'm glad you didn't take it that way. I'm thinking genisis coup would be better.
