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

So far but it has only been a few hundred miles.

 

130k on original clutch still, possibly because of the amount of highway driving i do?

i am not one to follow instructions!

in 22.5 years i only recently found that i have to be completely stopped to go into 4lo or else something or other is grinding in the j
apparently i do not use that feature very much!

 

i am glad you are not obsessing over this little click like i am apparently fussing about my situation in the lunchtable lol

 

That is my understanding too, why go thru the hassle to get the same parts.

 

i am looking for a solution. rebuilding an FJ metal unit is an option. going expensive is an option but not necessary unless i can't make a basic tight metal unit work.

 

Yeah I am digging the FJ pedal idea, think I posted a link up for one a while back too.

 

yessir you did.

 

Oooo I want a fj pedal

 

Repost that link mofo!

Quick question for all...when you're spiced up on bourbon and pot, do you ever see the title as Manual Transmission Fart Club..."

Perhaps need bigger font

 

2nd gen guys did that FJ pedal swap, I think we have the same assembly so it should work.

 

Just bourbon, so it reads right, here.

 

Welp. I joined the Manual Transmission Club today... 2019 TRD Sport 4x4.

 

We still luv ya

 

I'll take handbrake over hill assist anyday.
I mean, it works great

 

I get to choose either feature in my 2019, even better!

And my Dad can beat your Dad!

 

I'm only back for a moment MT Fans...keep up the good work and keep this thread going!

 

Long live MT!

 

My wife's PA was sharing with us his recent visit to Scotland. They drive on the left side and most of the autos were manual transmissions including rental cars. Avis even gave them wrist bands to wear on their left hands to help remind them. He stated it felt weird shifting the stick with his left hand but eventually got used to it.

Manuals are still king outside the US, apparently American drivers are lazy.

"Outside North America, Manual Transmission is Still King

Outside the U.S. and Canada, you have to specify if you want a rental car with an automatic transmission—and, depending on the country and size of the city—it can sometimes be hard to find one.

When automatic transmissions are available, it is often far more expensive to rent one in the same car class as a vehicle with a manual transmission. In some smaller cities and off-the-beaten-path regions, it's simply impossible to find a rental car with a stick shift. Considering a visit to Ponta Delgada, Portugal? There are never automatic transmissions available."
