I'm nearly 70, This will be my last vehicle most likely. I'm actually a SUV type BUT as you all know Manuals are only available on Tacoma and Jeep. Of course they are also available on very expensive but totally useless cars in bad weather such as Porsche etc.

I LOVE doing math and deriving things for myself, I have been told by 3 Doctors, doing puzzles or in my case math actually is a good preventative for senility. I am NOT joking it's a fact.

My BEST car was a 1985 Isuzu Trooper. Turbo 4cyl DIESEL (Tons of low end Torque) It's MANUAL transfer case had not only 4H & 4L BUT also had 2H & 2L. It also had auto locking hubs, all you had to do was travel about 6 feet in reverse in either 2H or 2L to unlock them. It had a 5 spd manual and NO DAMN ELECTRONIC ANYTHING!! The transfer case was also "stick" operated

It took me three days to master the "Tall" 1st and Reverse on my new Tacoma. I HATE slipping clutches and also driving a 10 wheel garbage truck (back in my college day summers) SPOILED me rotten.

it was a 2 stick Mack duplex tranny. 5 speeds on one stick L & D ( D was 1:1) on the other. To get her movin you used L-2 and just let the clutch out gently. When loaded you used L & D to split each gear hence a 10 speed tranny

And using Reverse-L made backing up to large containers (Dumpsters) EASY as PIE

I LOVED it you shifted like this 2L then 2H Then using BOTH hands one stick to L the other to 3rd then the one stay in 3rd and shift to D NO Clutch either you learned to drop revs by ear.

Again THANK YOU ALL for the information, it's much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
