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

You can still do it with the dash e-brakes too.

 

True but it's not that fun, not alot of leverage. Whole different feel.......

And just for you and 24-7 the trucking industry is using similar hill assist feature in the big rigs, both Freightliner and Volvo autos:

Now you and 24-7 go tell those truckers they don't know how to drive a M/T or auto along with your other stupid bull$hit comments!

 

The hill assist is fine. Some situations you might want to turn it off though. My wife's Impreza has it and it's fine. I personally don't need it/ want it but it is not the devil.

 

1995 Toyota Pick-up was my first....then 1988 Toyota BJ73...now 2016 TRD OR. All still in the family. I'll drive MT until my left leg stops working.





I wish the 2016 had a manual shifter for 4wd.....

 

Yeah what is up with that weird stupid dial thing? There should be a stick outa the transfer case!

 

I wish. At least we can still convert to manual hubs and now have an easy 2Lo Mod.

 

The bj73 has a push button vacuum for 4hi..they were trying to be fancy and I hate it. The one pump no longer works so I have to switch the lines back and forth to put it in and out of 4-hi. They kept 4-lo and the pto winch with the lever which is much more reliable.

 

Oof. Not good, but at least it is easy.

I take the 4wd exercise stated in the manual seriously because I want to know if the system is working well and if any faults start to creep in. Still, we should have a stick given the amount of space available and the ease of it.

 

Well, I had to replace the clutch master again. This time I bought the revised master, clutch pedal, and hose, from the TSB. All is well again. Only time will tell how long the new metal master will last. Looking on the bright side, I'm getting pretty fast at removing and replacing the master cylinder. Lol

 

Hahaha...oh the resistance to any tech beyond what came on an 84-88 pickup. This is actually a great feature to have.

 

Both above posters acknowledge not having hill assist yet insinuate one can't drive a manual and the handbrake is a better option.

Like to know what they be smoking?

 

Neo-Luddism and the Luddite movement on TW! Lols

 

i have Never used handbrake to start on any hill ever that my old brain can recall that is

 

I use it all the time, on my 3rd set of drums in 2 years. The shoes keep bending...

 

my truck has never seen that situation!

it looks like more of a cliff than a hill!

 

it’s a hill... i think. Apple maps took me through there, damn siri!

 

Sadly there is a contingent of those people on TW who feel they must comment on any "advanced" feature discussed (you know like FM radio), and say how "real" trucks don't need that.

I feel it probably is even worse here since this is the MT thread, so kind of self-selecting.

 

I am happy to own MT and have my TSS features along with power windows and fm radio!

 

real trucks don't need A/C!
be a man and sweat it out dammit!
that was an advanced feature at one time Lol
my first Toyota pickup did not have the A/C so damn straight I sweated out 105 degree days in Kansas City and Wichita

 

just curious if you tried to use the clutch start cancel feature to get up that?
