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

Ugh, Scamzoil, no thanks, you can't pay me to use their products.

 

We know

 

Redline? Royal Purple? Space Goo?

 

Either OEM toyota or LM with Molygen (the green stuff) for engine and red line for everything else. 170K kms on 2018 and zero issues with the engine, everything else is falling apart while trying to keep those 37s rolling tho…

 

Personally I think SAE has defined motor oil so well that anything that meets the required specs is more than good enough.

For the transmission make sure you use the right oil, I believe Toyota demands a different spec than used in the differentials (spec, not just viscosity)
Worth checking the owners manual but I found this thread that talks about it a little bit

Of that group, Redline.

 

Which 2024 Toyota Tacoma trims come with the six-speed manual gearbox?

• SR (Double Cab only)
• TRD Sport (Double Cab only)
• TRD Off-Road (Double Cab only)

 

I was hoping for a DCLB with the manual but I am almost sure I will be dissapointed again

 

Interesting. SR MT was what I wanted to buy back in 2020 if it could be had with SX around 28k. That's what I spent on my '16 OR used, it's my general price point of interest.

I'm not sad I got 4wd now that I've moved to the PNW where it snows though. But I didn't need it for San Diego.

 

Seems like that's the configuration everyone wants, yet it's the one they won't offer

 

Could be worse, what if DCLB MT was only for Canada?

 

I thought the PreRunner 2WD access cab was going to have the MT as an option as well? Maybe I am remembering/heard wrong.

 

Double cabs only? That's piracy damit! It belongs in the access cab Oh well.... If I got one I could bring along friends in the back seat and show off how good I can drive a manual...

 

is that confirmed - no SR Xtra Cab 6MT?

 

Hey folks I used the search but could not find anything on stainless steel pedals for our third gen Taco's. Any one have them??

 

I would import one, the exchange rate aint bad

 

nothing new to this group but fun to read about. Tom still puts out good articles despite Jalopnik going to shit

Great the 2024 Tacoma can have a manual transmission. It looks quite unusual seeing a manual shift lever with a touch screen.

 

That’s definitely a good score!
