Any negatives for the manual transmission

I can spin my tires anytime in first. Its actually very ballsy in first. I never felt unsafe in the middle of intersections, like some complain about. Im using non ethanol fuel, maybe that makes a difference.

 

right on. using first in this thing is:
- a learned skill
- requires a lot of throttle, don't be shy
- gotta have the ADM... or just keep getting lucky
- gets my truck nearly hopping from a standstill. you could call it a controlled lurch. my trucks nickname is The White Rabbit for a reason.

 

I still have the accumulator actually and never had an issue with firsr gear , or any other gears for that matter. Except for those times when you shift and it feels like its your first time driving MT. Then i definately know its the accumulator.

Would love to remove mine, my pevious truck did not have it and it did feel a bit more precise.

My truck currently has really low mileage, so i dont really want to screw around with it just yet. But on my to do list for sure.

 

The terrain knob I get, but the speed knob... I didn't thing crawl control was available on the MT.

 

Right, just ATRAC is on the MT Tacoma.

 

What is the second knob that says "speed" then?

 

Thats the speed of crawl control.

 

That's what I thought, but I also thought crawl control is only available with the AT, and A-Trac is only available on the MT. Do those rules not apply to the 4runner? I guess the only one I know that to be true is on the 3rd Gen.

 

There's no MT T4R.

 

Ok, so the 4Runner has A-Trac with an AT. That makes sense then. So does the MT Tacoma have knob or not? That pic must be of a 4runner, which screwed me all up.

 

No ATRAC, MTS, or CC knobs on MT Tacos.

 

I stand corrected then. They both do not have a button and a dial, and the AT does in fact allow finer control of how the brake simulated locker works. Roger dodger.

 

I guess shitty MPG is one negative.

 

That is a hair to split. Debating TC torque multiplication and fluid heat to the MT 1st gear ratio in low range:

Welcome to the 3rd Gen section. Enjoy your stay. Don't be afraid to check out my MPGs, below.

 

And, what are you throwing down? 19 average was more than I was expecting. Getting close to 22 now it rockstar IMHO.

 

18 lmao

 

Valid point. At least the MT puts the crawl ratio closer to what the Ranger is rocking. Now if only it had the low end grunt, as well.

 

Ahhh! Now, I get your first post. OVT did bump my mileage up 1.5 so far. You might check out if the 4.0 tune adds some for you?

 

As I said several pages back, the grunt problem is just a poor factory tune. A 3mb file that sullied a really good motor. I know on the MT side that OVT's FOB tune gives on hell of a torque hit right off of idle. I also feel that the tune is better for longevity. The factory tune was bad.
