trans shifting

don't think that will make a 4 banger hold 6th at 75mph.

Sure, it will hold 6th - you just won't be going 75 anymore

 

Woah! Don't tell us what ads you look for on Craigslist.

 

You were thinking of this?

 

This

My last CJ was 5 mph from red line at 75.

 

Those don't even make it to 75mph without sending the transmission into 7 neutrals...

 

Wait, tacoma comes with a 4 banger? That experience must be tragic.

 

In 16-17, they offered 4 cyl 5 spd which wasn’t so bad. But yeah, 160 hp coupled with an AT in a heavy truck, no bueno.

 

It would be fine if the AT didn’t have the gearing it does. That gearing is nowhere near proper for a 4 cyl, hence why they downshift constantly. It works but mostly stays in the first four gears.

 

It can be!

 

Yes, but also it’s 160 hp engine in a heavy truck that’s shaped like a brick.

 

Just drive in S5…. It wont shit from 6th to 5th then.

 

You'll hold 6th still.....I didn't say you'd hold the same speed, lol!

 

Some don’t even know, they’ve never had to drive a car with less than 250HP. My first car was 1979 Datsun 210, 4 door, and it had well under 100 HP,,,, it think it was less than 80

 

The V4 is better, unfortunately you have the inline 4. Lesson learned.

 

My first vehicle was 1990 mazda b2200 5spd with about 80 hp. I was in highschool and was super excited to just be driving haha.

Tacoma is like a rocket compared to that thing.
