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

@WyomingSkidmark , you appear to have a horse in the bed...

 

yeah, kind of the main reason for a bed, she gets waaaaay to excited when I let her inside and drools everywhere

 

Fortunately mine is not a drooler, but it looks like a fur bomb exploded in the cab.

 

So i changed all the drivetrain fluids. Redline 75-90 gl5 in the diffs and mt-90 in manual tranny and transfer case. Was kinda dissapointed. Both tranny and transfer case fluid didnt look that bad. But the front and rear diff fluids were pretty dirty. To my understanding i believe the front diff still free spins even 2wd. Anyone else have same expierence? But the tranny I must say does shift smoother with the mt-90

 

Yes

 

From a stop when the truck is cold and I am backing out of the driveway I notice it doesnt like to go into reverse unless I let the clutch out a few inches and then she goes all the way into gear. Even notice it in first every once in awhile. Like most manual transmissions it does not like being put into first until the truck is 100% stopped. I would have thought the transmission would be a bit smoother than it is.

 

I learned that my truck doesnt like getting put into first gear in 4 low unless your pretty much stopped.

 

Yes.

 

I usually end up starting in second or third in 4LO unless I really need to crawl.

 

Again....yes.

 

Apparently I'm in a mood to agree...

 

LOL that time of the night again, what else can we get out of him

 

The mood to agree will change after two more..then I'll be in the mood to flirt... @lotuscupcar ?? Then two more later I'll be in the mood to fight... I won't tag anyone for that as I don't want to invite the scurge in..

 

Hey beautiful

Is the barrel of the gun polished, or you need a Pro polish on that 6MT knob?

 

Clutch pedal gettting stuck in cold weather(stuck to the floor board) Just curious if you guys are having that issues yet. If I let the cab get hot (heater on the feet) the clutch pedal doesn't get stuck.... it's only when the weather drops under 30 degrees.

 

Lol I was thinking of paging her just in case.

 

48 degrees
No issues

 

Dude, i totally agree with you! My truck isn't even a week old but I've gone through one tank and averaged 15.3. I know it's not broken in yet but I seriously doubt I will come close to any of the numbers I've been reading in this thread.

 

Filled up this morning. 20.07 MPG using winter gas.
