Red loctite I have. Need to make a note for the RTV

 

I used Loctite 518 Flange Sealant

I like the sticker. Same shift pattern as my 911.

I wonder how long before stick shift cars a completely gone. Maybe 2030? Porsche was making more stick shift cars when I got mine 20 years ago. Now the number of stick shift cars is so low that they have become extremely rare and I don't think 911's come with stick as an option any more. They were the last holdouts. I think a few coxsters and boxsters might still come with it.

 

70% MT take rate on the new Integra and 75% MT take rate on the new Bronco.

The 718s are going electric only in 2024, or something like that.


Maybe it was 25% on the Bronco? Still, hella good.

 

Yeah, no kidding. Lets hope it stays that way

 

Bought my wife…I mean… I bought myself an MT Bronco and have an MT Pro coming in another week or two. Stick shifts ain’t going anywhere, at least in my house!

 

Hell yeah.

Look into the ADM and 2LM threads to make it complete.

@lapoltba is in CT and can help you unlock the low end torque, when you get tired of the clutch slipping.

 

2013 Mazda3 Hatch with 6MT - got it at 32kmi - now 66kmi

2019 Tacoma AC Sport with 6MT - got it at 40kmi - now 42kmi

we drive about 6k / yr so should be good for a good long while

 

Yeah the ADM is at the top of the list once it’s in the driveway.

 

The Porsche 997 has an Aisin supplied manual transmission that is based heavily on the architecture of the Tacoma transmission. So for some 911 cars, it's more than just the pattern that matches.

 

Yeah!

Super easy mod. Get out the dremel!

 

New Cadillac has a MT Option too.

 

Have not heard of Aisin. Thats interesting
my 996 has the G50(Gertrag) race inspired trans which is completely different from the 997. There is no parts interchangeability between them, unfortunately. Kinda like my metzger engine has no compatibility with the new engines. I have been running at 760 rwhp since 2008 with no issues on the trans. Very solid trans.

 

That looks pretty good.

 

This might be the only time I’ve seen a caddy and thought it looked good

 

It's blue...so disqualified


So yah

 

Fortunately, you can still order a 911 with a manual

 

Any better?

 

I personally can’t get enough of Cookie Monster blue, but there’s no accounting for taste I spose

 

IMS bearing gives shudders in the spinal area.
