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

This made me laugh.

I have nerve damage from a broken back in 15' and I have very little feeling in my left leg.

I still have zero issues using the clutch in my M/T. Haha.

Ill be honest tho... i have killed it several times since my numb foot slipped off the clutch

 

Personally havent had any issues with the clutch weight. It's comparable to all other manual transmission trucks I've owned in this size.

 

Happy to entertain!

 

Think you are misunderstanding.
The clutch is too light, more importantly it doesn’t have enough feel of the engagement point. A truck doesn’t need this light of a clutch.
Are we not men?

 

I’ve definitely read a lot of bitching about the reverse ratios, but quite honestly, I’ve never even noticed. Maybe if I had to parallel park on a hill every so often, this might be an issue

 

If you have to back up a grade with a load in the bed or if you have a trailer you will notice.

 

^this.

thank god for 4lo

 

Dood, cereal? All the shitposting under the bridge and I had no idea you were a three pedal pilot.

Even tho your name is in yellow, and steak-ro-wave....I'll still respekt ya!

 

Damn skippy! M/T is my only "T".

 

I think you miss my point. From full size work trucks to 10 wheelers to other midsized personal trucks, all of which I've used to their full weight rating on a regular basis through different terrain I've got a good background in clutch feels. The clutch is about the same pressure wise as other mid sized trucks


@shakerhood does have a point though with the Reverse situation. I agree that's not ideal.

 

Broken back buddies!

 

Dumpsters, photos, MT, famous shop of photos...we gotta stop meeting up like this...peeps will talk eh

 

Would you consider these cracking or does this look normal?

 

Wird
This sounds great, but also sounds like a tranny swap?

 

Yep.

Wait for 4th gen maybe?

lol

 

RC61F is your solution.

RC61F 4WD transmission found in vehicles such as the Toyota Hilux (2.5L, 2.8L, and 3.0L diesel models from 2015).

Ratios:

• First Gear: 4.784:1
• Second Gear: 2.423:1
• Third Gear: 1.443:1
• Fourth Gear: 1.00:1
• Fifth Gear: 0.826:1
• Sixth Gear: 0.643:1
• Reverse: 4.066:1

 

Does that transmission make use of a pilot bearing in the end of the crank (ie does it have a snout on the end of the input shaft)?

The RC-62F that we have in our V6 M/T does not, so there's that. Errrr.

Oh and there we go with a reverse ratio higher sped than 1st again lol. Although, it IS better than what we have!

 

Your point is it is the same as other trucks. My point is it doesn’t have enough feel of the engagement point. Needs too much attention to feel the light engagement point.
Just because its the same doesn’t mean it works well.
