What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

What does it do again? I'm totally clueless.

 

Strange feature. What's so hard about pushing in the clutch? Lol.

 

‘Merica

Pretty sure There’s a real reason, I just don’t know it... autoproblems

 

That’s the only area I haven’t worked on, so that makes me feel good, but it also confuses me on what it could be.

 

Dam, that bumper is awesome! Exactly what I’m looking for. Is it custom?

 

Well, when your clutch safety switch decides to crap out randomly, one cannot start the truck. Even with the clutch jammed to floor so hard your putting a dent in it. Thus the "clutch start cancel" is used. Also, if you stall out on a steep incline it can help too.

 

How did only the side curtain airbags only deploy and not the dash ones?

 

Learn how to drive a manual transmission before you start puffing out the chest, okay Big Guy?

 

It's a safety feature...if you're on a steep hill and/or back against a cliff or something and stalled out, it allows you to start up again without having to worry about using the clutch and rolling backward. In certain situations like off-roading, you could find yourself in a scenario where rolling backward even just a foot or less could be catastrophic. Probably why your 5 lug didn't come with it, it's less likely to be in that kind of situation.

Also it's popular for folks that live in cold climates and like to start their truck in the morning to warm it up, don't have to climb in a press the clutch to fire it up.

 

Yay Bluegrass fest! Telluride?

 

The #70 is a specific length, there are not multiple lengths of the #70 spring.

 

Changing the powersteering fluid tonight, from my understanding this is what I need:


This is The same stuff, just different brand, right?


It’s all I could find...

 

Welp I’m just gonna do it I guess, ask for forgiveness later.

 

Do you guys have a link with all the details to this mod? Mine is driving me mad, the bushingis gone on the OEM spring and it squeaks everyone...

 

I used mine when I wanted to start my 4runner before scraping all the windows. It was nice to not have to get all the way in and then all the way out haha

 

Just did the same. I used Dex3. Found some at Autozone.

 

Ok cool, this says it’s the same as Dex3or something.

Thank you

 

Not Mercon! You need a Dexron compatible fluid, says it right on the PS cap

 

This says and the video I watched said it’s ok?

 

It’s easy takes about 5 mins. Get a good light, push your seat all the way back and lay on your back looking up at the clutch pedal. Take a flathead screw driver or a small pry bar and pry the factory spring out of the brake pedal side. It will make a loud boing but should stay in place. Wrap it in a cloth if you want. Then work the pedal back and forth while pulling out on the middle of the spring and it should all come loose. Then hook the 70 spring up on the little hook under the dash and the other to the little pin on your clutch linkage.
