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

Never knew you were so experienced.

 

Honestly, thats almost how i feel.

When i see a nice new luxury/sports car and its auto , im like meh. When i see 88 5 spd vw gti i get excited haha! Would rather drive 88 5 spd vw then some new automatic beamer.

Also, would like to show off my new sticker, got it from that rusty nail guy. Great product, im very happy.

 

Nice, I have the same one, love it!

 

Yes, the tranny is so smooth. Very enjoyable to drive, i grin everytime i get in.

 

Ha! Just saw the sticker on your back window and realized you were reffering to the sticker, thought you meant that you had same taco MT.

I mean , I had some beers, but not that many

 

I thought the same thing and I’ve had no beers..

 

Maybe you prefer ?

 

Just got my first ever Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 6MT DCSB! Breaking tradition after driving VWs for 21 years, mostly all tuned and manual! It's nice to be back in manual after driving an '19 Jetta as commuter, it was mainly used for 600 miles a week commute for my old job. Not anymore! It's cut in half, that gave me reason to get Tacoma!

 

Nice choice, congrats! This tranny is pretty smooth, you will love it!

 

Thank you!

It is smooth!

Also, how much can I sell the 400 miles old OEM Toyo open country A30 265/65/17 for?

 

Just the tires? My guess would be 400-450.

 

yes, just the tires. Ah, just $400-$450? Thought it would be close to $600?

 

At that price there isn't much incentive to buy them from you instead of just going and buying a set of new tires, IMO.

 

Most take offs sell for $400-500.

I’ve sold a few sets and they all went for $400 with 0-10,000 miles on them

 

i approve!

... been trying to push my 19yr old nephew into getting some old-as-dirt crapbox 5 speed on its last legs and learn the ropes.
i even found this instructional for him to study!

 

i noticed sticker right off the bat

 

Hey guys, got in the truck this morning and the pedal felt loose. I climbed under there and found that the push rod behind the pedal is loose it kind of turns now like I know it shouldn't and I did find a tight spot and now it's making like weird grease popping seal sounds.
Anybody have any clues anybody have any diagrams? and wish I could take a picture but my phone cameras busted

What's the part that sits inside this cage? Any one know?
That is what I'm having problems with



I found this.
The rod is loose in there like I can move it up and down and twist it left and right and all the bolts are tight.
