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

wut?!

I'm thirsty for a coffee but I'm not waiting for inheritance to buy one. my mom's gonna live to be well over 90, no doubt.

@friendlywithbears aren't you the guy who lead me to jump on the SPC UCA Group buy, which utterly transformed my truck along with solving all the world's problems? yeah that's right it was you... now you can solve your own wonky throttle map problem.

this is where FI development starts, as you know. join us and keep up with the development while enjoying the drive.

 

You guys fight dirty

 

Peer pressure is a bitch...but at least you will have more torque...

 

I've got a 2010 Camry LE with a 6 speed manual - IMHO Toyota did it right with that one - You have a ring around the shifter shaft that you lift with your fingers to put it in reverse (same location as the Taco). Never a problem of finding reverse when you want first. Wished they could have doe this with the Taco !

 

Anybody experience some mild popping/shaking in clutch pedal when starting from a dead a stop.

 

While engaging clutch?

 

Yeah, when slipping to move in 1st gear.

 

as in, a pedal effect? or do you mean you can feel the clutch itself doing something weird?

i would say i experience a little of what you describe just from the pedal. the pedal assembly is, to me, probably the cheapest plasticky thing on the truck and I'm looking for a solution. hopefully the will be a solid pedal assembly replacement at some point.

 

Yeah, the problem was definitely NOT fixed in all 2017's. I had it in mine. Good news is though that their fix truly did fix the problem.

 

Does anyone think or noticed that if the spring and ball helped with the somewhat clunky shift?

 

All I feel is the peddle vibrate when I'm engaging the clutch in 1st gear or reverse.

 

Do the 3rd gens have an inch or two of dead travel like the 2nd gens?

Can't say I have this. I hear some popping as it is coming up but that is because mine is creaking and squeaking all over the place. I don't feel any shaking in the pedal, I do feel vibration through it when fully depressed or coming up, but nothing excessive or what I would consider out of the ordinary.

 

You referring to an inch or two when pressing the clutch before you can feel it start to actually release?

 

Also, got this today

 

Yup...jelly.

Ever since @shakerhood bolted his on. Gotta get one. Noice

 

I could not handle that ugly stock double ball looking shift handle, mine was gone the first day!

 

I couldn't take it either. Wife just shook her head and walked away

 

Well worth the price in my opinion. All the manuals should have come from the factory like that instead of the ball looking one.

 

It's fugly, but way comfortable, and matches the steering wheel in feel/comfort, so I don't worry about it.
