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

I'm looking for husky or weather tech type mats. Can't seem to find them for a three pedal truck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

 

Husky #13961

 

Internet points for the first person to get their hands on a 2017 manual...double points if it is Cement colored.... @lotuscupcar you in?

 

I have a 2017 Manual OR on order (so not Cement, but Inferno). Originally ordered a 2016, but they couldn't get it so they offered to do it as a 2017. I'm supposed to get it the end of this month/beginning of next.

 

Pics or it never happened....hope it arrives on time for you.

 

I hope it arrives on time too. I'm tired of waiting. And there will definitely be pics as soon as I get it.

 

2016 Manual: Anybody running 33" tires? How does it feel going through the gears? Sluggish? How are mountain passes etc?

 

Been told that my throwout bearing needs to be replaced (it's chirping like a mofo). Only 30k miles on my truck but I think the supercharger ended the stock TOB rather prematurely....

Looking at upgrading to the URD Stage II clutch assembly, anyone else running it? Or other recommendations?

 

same. I ordered mine back in May, but they couldn't acquire my wants. The allocation pushed into this new 2017 production and my build date is September 30th. 2017 Manual, OR, DC, Mag Grey, w/ Premium Tech Package. :celebrate:

 

Let us know what axle ratio you get in the '17... Documents show 3.90:1 for the manual transmission trucks as opposed to the 4.30:1 the '16 manuals got.

 

Yes, because we are dumb 'Muricans and will buy whatever Toyota produces. Trying to buy a Mazda 3 and Honda Fit in manual right now to replace our two TDI's, and it is damned near impossible to find them.

 

Say it ain't so!

 

It's so. Atleast the toyota publications say this, so unless it is a misprint, they fucked the 2017 manuals. Mileage should get even better however.

 

how much of a dip in towing and load capacity should we see with this move?

 

You wont see a dip in either of the published towing and load capacity ratings I dont think. Truth be known most drivers will not notice the difference, besides an increase in highway mileage. but for those of us who think even 4.3 are geared to high for offroad pursuits, it seems like a move in the wrong direction.

 

If this is for sure the case, I am super happy that I got a 16 m/t with 4.30 gearing. I would much rather have that than the pwr rear window.

 

This^^

 

If you have a 2017 on order, I would wait. The manual might have a 3.9 diff ratio. There is a thread blowing up right now about it.

 

I can completely back out of my deal if there is anything I don't want, so I'm keeping it on order. Once the truck arrives I can verify which it is and I'd be happy to post it here.

 

post a pic of the door sticker. @aero90 knows how to decipher the codes.
