DCLB Manual transmission?

I was eagerly awaiting the 2016 Tacomas, but now that they've arrived, I realized I can't buy the truck I want. I can get close, but don't like to compromise.

I want a double cab long bed with a manual transmission. I'd prefer 4x4, but I'd compromise on that. Is it possible to get that configuration on a 2nd generation Tacoma?

 

No. The DCLB is auto only.

 

^ yep

 

Prove to me that it is problematic. I am running urd sc stage 3 set-up and have absolutely zero issues with my transmission. Just do a manual trans swap.

 

There are numerous threads on here with people having issues with the 6-speed. Throw out bearings and shuddering is the main complaints.

 

2016 is 3rd gen this is 2nd gen thread... just saying..

 

The OP has stated in other threads that since he couldn't get a 16 the way he wanted, a 15 was an option.

 

Oh, sorry. I knew i shoulda just kept it shut.

 

I'm a big fan of the manual trans. That said, I'd compromise on the transmission way before 4x4. The auto trans in these trucks has a great reputation.

 

TOB is a wear item, and shutter is just low engine rpm load surge. Sounds like too high of gear, with too low rpm. Operator error. Once again, nothing wrong with trans.

 

2009 6 speed - ZERO problems at 59,000 miles. Would prefer a little more OD for 6th gear, but at 21/22 mpg interstate, I'm happy.
