This kind of got me thinking. Might be easier to just do the mod, and in the unlikely event one were to have a serious transmission/clutch issue that needed warranty work, that would be the time to swap out the slave for an OEM one with the CDV valve still in tact. As such does anyone have the...
I think the OP referenced that P/N as an option but himself didn't actually replace the slave but rather removed the actually valve from his existing slave.
Has anyone swapped the actual slave cylinder with the BMW one (Part# 21526785964)? If so, does that slave cylinder attach to the trans the same way as the OEM one?
To put ordering timelines into perspective for you, most folks that wanted just a regular MT end up waiting 8-12+ months. For an A91-MT you need a sprinkling of luck to go along with those timelines.
Any other Supra folks also have an MK8 R? Much like with the Supra I’m doing my part to #savethemanuals. 2024 is the last year you’ll be able to get an MT in the Golf R, so I just had to go that way.
Bump.
Another +1 for the Element Fire Extinguisher. Another mounting option for people is to just get the roll bar mount that Element sells and attach it to the factory brace.
You shouldn't have any issues with just a catback. If I had a warranty claim for anything that wasn't catastrophic (failed engine, trans, diff etc.) I'd have no issues taking the car into the dealer with the exhaust. But if it was a serious failure, I'd probably take the 2hrs it takes to swap...
Fair point bk5, if I had to choose clutch wear vs. braking stuff in the trans, diff or axles, I'll take the clutch wear. So in that case maybe sticking with the CDV is my best bet.
I'm still on the fence myself. Somewhat tempted to remove it as I'd really like to avoid premature clutch wear/failure. I do autocross the car very often which results in a hard & fast launch and a hard & fast 1->2 shift quite frequently, so longevity of the clutch, and drivetrain as a whole, is...
Nice, congrats!
I would be very curious to see how many Supra's came to Canada for the 2023MY and what the split was for AT vs MT. In the US I believe there were 2828 cars produced and 1216 of them were MT's.
I've just gotten in the habit of following the process below and have never had it release on me:
1. Neutral
2. Foot on brake pedal
3. Set parking brake
4. Foot off brake pedal
5. Turn off car
6. If I'm on a hill, and only then, I'll also throw it in gear to be safe
I wonder how many of those were MT's.
Still quite surprising given how hard it is to actually get an MT. You'd think the numbers would have stayed the same, not be cut in half compared to 2022.
