    I typically use gear oil but a dab of tranny fluid will work in a pinch

    It's a very simple process to change it from 1down 5up to 1up 5down on almost modern any bike. It's not done to be cool, there is a very good reason, but if you don't know why you don't need to do it.

    You sure the auto crawls with no throttle input?

    I like to put my stock truck in 4L in a wide open field and sit in the back seat while it crawls

    Really? I was thinking of getting a single box someday. Is this from personal experience?

    On any auto I have driven, they will crawl or creep forward when the brake is released. I can not say for certain that it will function the same as a manual without throttle input. Maybe there is someone else here that has experience with it and can answer that question.

    I used them in 07 when I had my 85 HiLux and they were slow then and it looks like nothing has changed in 2019 looking at the reviews.

    M/T owners preaching "driving is fun" like they just got their drivers license last week. Yeah, we all know why that right forearm is larger than the left... "Hey, what's up, Joey?" "Hey, Matt! About to drive to Wal-Mart! Jess needs tampons. But I'm SO pumped I get to shift gears on the way!".... Driving sucks. Especially in traffic. & no one is ever excited driving to work, even in a M/T... Personally, I can't wait for that A/P. Yeah, that's right; Mother F'n Autopilot! Y'all can all have fun shifting whatever stick you prefer. I'll be taking a nap or getting drunk until I get to wherever I'm going.
    :cheers:

    Naw I drive like an asshole and i'm sure auto-pilot would just follow some slow fuck at the speed limit instead of getting around. Plus there's a traffic light near my place that I run all the fucking time. I do stop, but I hammer the fuck down when it's all clear. The light won't change in a timely matter during off peak commute hours.

    I am proud of you that you are against autopilot cause I enjoy driving also even in traffic with a 3rd pedal

    In 20 years or so, long after MT is a completely dead issue, the thread dealing with "real drivers controlling their own vehicles" vs. autonomous will be EPIC!..not really, lol
