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

Was it hard to install?

 

Righty tighty, lefty loosely.

 

Some shifter have clips. Etc.

 

Yeah sure dude, its on the slave cylinder inside the bell housing of your transmission. You can adjust the MC out from inside the cabin, but if its already at max travel youre gonna be wrenching brotha

 

100:2 when you're building 200,000 or more per year is a decent number. 4,000 sales is nothing to sneeze at. If they offered the MT in the DCLB and ACLB OR here in the US, that number might get 50% higher?

 

No, just have to detach the chrome clip on the shift boot from the knob then spin the knob off. Remove the center console and the cut the zip tie off the chrome piece, install a zip tie on the boot and shift lever and then put it all back.

 

Yuck, haha the free play is pretty minimal. I ended up putting a felt pad on the plate that comes in contact with the switch to give it that extra distance and its much better now.

 

A dealership ECU upgrade? More info please?

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that one!

 

No problem!

 

i just bought a 2017 dbl cab with a manual trans. it came with out floor matt’s so i am looking into the all weather ones or maybe the weather techs but i’d like to find a cheaper version.

Does anyone have any experience with these mats. some of the ones I am looking at are meant for an auto trans so I wanted to know if that really makes that much of a difference? I have read some people have made cuts on their mats so that the edge doesn’t catch the clutch. how much of this is inconvenient or is it really not a big deal?

 

I have the factory all weather mats and have never had an issue with clearance or the pedal catching. Honestly my only complaint is the passenger side one doesn’t have an anchor so it tends to slide up in the footwell over time.

 

The factory all weather mats don't interfere with the clutch in any way that I can tell. I had Husky mats in my 2nd gen, I was a big fan of them but that truck was an auto, so no idea on any potential clutch interference.

 

I bought the husky mats. They have a manual specific version. I would not buy any Auto version as they may interfere with the clutch.

 

I might just be used to my 1st gen, but on my 18' the weathertech catches my foot pretty easily. Which, I also have really big feet



Also, new to the thread since Sunday. 2018 inferno offroad 6spd weathertechs, trifold, and sidesteps

 

Massive difference. My truck came with the AT mats from the dealer by mistake (they actually had to order the replacements because it was the only MT on the lot) and they actually stick out into the clutch travel to the point it lifted the mat every time. As you said, you can cut them but why? I'd rather just get mats designed for my truck.

 

+1 for the Husky Mats, I've had them since the week after I bought the truck, so 9 months. I have not once had them catch on the clutch or any of the pedals and they're great for keeping all the shit from my boots contained.

 

This was with my own tactrix cable. 0412 to 0413

 

Oh... thanks for the info
