For anyone who doesn't have their ADM done, kits are being made again.

More snake oil.

 

Just curious. I’m not an MT owner, but I haven’t read a single post being dissatisfied with their ADM effort.

Is it the kit, or the whole project you question?

Truthfully just curious.

 

The project, this mt doesn't feel any different than any other mt I have driven over the years. The only difference is this truck transmission has a synchronized first and reverse gear. From two wheel burnouts to holding the truck on a hill with just manipulating the clutch, feels no different.

 

By the way I have been on sfob the last week and this truck rips, 1st, 2nd and 3rd are too fun to drive.

 

Fair enough.

 

Cool story bro. This Tune makes a difference. If you don't like it or don't want to be a part of it, that's fine. But don't come around trolling or shitposting.

 

Quoting just for the shear fun of it. I was referring to adm if you couldn't tell.

 

Well, just because you like the way the stock clutch setup feels doesn't mean it appeals to everyone. I believe you, BTW.
For those of us who don't care for that setup, the ADM is certainly not snake oil.
Your post is what it is, but it's not based on knowing the difference removing or bypassing the accumulator makes.

 

Oh and I want video of the two wheel burnout.

 

ADM was easily the most cost effective mod on my truck. Before ADM, I felt less of a man who had forgotten how to drive a MT after 25 years of having driven one. Toyota says this is normal.

 

You are fully entitled to your own opinion, but until you have driven the truck both ways you will truly never really know the difference. Your claim of snake oil isn't going to be taken seriously here because pretty much everyone here has noticed an improvement after doing the mod. There are a few exceptions of people that expected more, but they still noticed a difference for the better. If you're happy with the clutch, I'm happy for you. If you're willing to spend under $20 in parts and a couple hours of time to try something new and see if there is actually an improvement, I highly recommend it. It's always reversible.

Don't knock it until you try it.

 

The change may seem subtle to some. And I certainly didn't instantly hate the feel when I started driving my 2019 Tacoma. The pedal feels less puffy with ADM. The modulator adds an almost imperceptible delta time from full pedal travel to actual full engagement or disengagement.

 

Also, "Snake Oil" implies someone is selling a quack medicine or product that doesn't work to make a profit. This mod has been open sourced by the community here. You can go buy the parts and do it yourself and no-one (except the parts store) makes any money from it. We have no vested interest in whether you do the mod or not.

 

I think a lot of it depends on your driving style. Personally most times it didn't both me stock, other times I was ready to get rid of the truck. It was still significant better than driving the slush box..

after the ADM and tune, I dont really have any complaints.

 

Lol, remember the clang bang clang if you didn't get that 1-2 shift juuuuuust "right"?
04B10 with an accumulator. Yeah fun.

 

i kinda remember that first drive home from the dealer... bad dreams.

 

The drive home was great. It was the week later when I started scratching my head because I couldn't relax while shifting.

 

yeah.... the more you drove it, you realized the little oddities. there was a long time where I doubted my driving ability and thought I just forgot how to shift... turns out it was Toyota fucking with me.

 

Same. I still second guess myself sometimes on this stock tune...but the longer I drive it, the more I notice when it's not doing what I'm asking for.
