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

That is crazy. We're turning into amphibians this year. A bit too wet, even for here.

 

Clearly. LoL!

GTFO of there before your jimmy falls off.

 

Anyone else think our clutches are the worst smelling ever built? I've never had one in any other vehicle that stinks so much with such a small amount of slippage.

 

Mine's never stuck down but it is definitely slower and stiffer starting at about 20F.

 

Normal for a carbon fiber clutch. It's great because they typically wear slowly. Had them in a couple other cars and a bike. The only downside seems that for whatever reason the Taco has zero feel.

 

At 1°F this AM my nuts tucked and ran.

Just putting that out there.

 

You guys are getting right fvcked over the last 12 mths,

You park indoors?

 

I'm still trying to get used to TX weather, been 80F almost every day the past 2 weeks. Dafuq? What planet am i on?

 

My clutch was a little soft too.

 

Geez. Add just a touch of altitude and the temps fuck right off.

At least your nutz knew where it was warm.

After being in PA, you deserve that. But like they say on Game of Thrones, Summer is Coming. Hellz no, thank you.

 

It is kinda nice, but weird to spend Christmas like that. I shouldn't complain, because as you say ... climate initiation is coming soon.

 

Dood, I went to Dallas for 4 days in June one year...114 every day. Asked a local about it and the said it was day 77 of +100 temps

 

Ouch.

 

One of the few times l could ever brag about the weather in Ohio, had the sunroof open today!

 

Yep we are.

My truck lives outside 5 days a week at works parking lot, I only drive my truck on weekends. Never experienced slow clutch.

 

I saw the -12* and thought that was bad, but then saw it was in C! That's +10*F, that shouldn't be a big deal. I'm in MN and we are around there too and I've never had the clutch just not come back up before. Even down below 0*F it is slow and creaky but never stuck on me before.

 

-10C ambient...you'll get slow clutch...even -5. Unless you using special funky brake fluid

 

Yup, never had no return, but not in a hurry return is common in very cold temps

Pump a few times and giddy up go daddy

 

Today was -14 at night, I got in my truck in the morning and my clutch was perfectly fine. I was expecting it to be a bit slow to be honest. Using stock OEM fluid.

 

Love my manual transmission. It's what my dad made me learn to drive on, and I'm glad I went back to one.
