It had been working flawlessly up to 10k or so miles after which I ended up selling the Supra

:O That was fast! Thanks! Whats surprising to me here is that the trans gets hotter faster than the engine oil temps at idle (131 F vs 109 F) and then takes longer to get up to 220 F while moving around. I wonder if 150-160 F is warm enough for smooth engagement. I'll try waiting for the...

30% Front and 15% elsewhere. The front visibility is excellent imo even at night. However, the visibility from the sides is poor and imo is too dark for driving thru a city with lots of curbs / narrow / crowded streets at night. It's fine for where I live and I wouldn't change it.

Thank you Phil, very insightful information. I will chalk all the findings down to the transmission fluid just not reaching the right temps. It is annoying, however, since I am able to identify the cause and have a potential workaround (I'll just skip 3rd or 4th) until the fluids all warm up...

Your transmission fluid probably gets warm enough on its own, AND/OR you might be shifting at a >2k RPM unknowingly. What temps are you typically seeing in your area?

Very interesting find regarding the idle. I have not paid attention to it tbh. I usually let the car warm up to the (2) stage ... I can only guess its stage (2) because the idle does drop at least once. Bingo. I think we are describing the same thing. I had a feeling it was something to do...

When I leave my 40-45 F garage, its fine as well. But it sits out for 6-8 hours in 30F while im at work. Driving driving back home from that - is when i notice it. Happens during regular shifts at 25 mph ~ 30 mph at 2k or lower rpms. Interestingly, at higher speeds and more aggressive shifts...

9 Months and 3500 Miles into ownership. I have the CDV deleted. Here are my findings (similar to most): 1. No clutch slip at all, none whatsoever (Although, i will say, I have been extra careful after reading thru all the discussions here). 2. Occasionally, the clutch feedback goes from...

This is beautiful.... i can't yell shutupandtakemymoney loud enough :p

If I could get over the looks, the fact that the M2 does not feel unique or as special on the road (vs normal traffic), and just cared purely about performance or numbers, then YES; the M2 would be a better option given its S58, and its updated interior and rear seats.

Starting the design? ... aw man i had CCard out and everything :banghead:

Crazy back in Jan-March, every damn MT was Stratosphere or White. I was looking for a Yellow or Red back then, and it was impossible..

As someone already stated: Comparing 2 track focused / upgraded variants, vs a completely OEM car - and getting beat, speaks for itself. No matter how much they put the suspension down, it doesn't matter. The supra still performs. It might just feel more at the edge because they are driving a...

This looks like a pre-concept concept pos... when the designers are still spitballing ideas.

It honestly makes a pretty insane difference in the shifting speed for sure. Definitely give it a shot. I bought mine from the ebay link and it has served me well so far.

Yess! I think a Clutch Pedal Stop is probably the right term for it. It a little tricky with the Supra. The bite point is already pretty low, so imo it's safer to go nearly all the way, rather then risking grinding something like the transmission synchros. Also prevents me from overthinking...

How long is considered "sitting". Glad I read thru this thread. I was planning on sitting it up on the jacks for +5 months....

:D I might not be explaining it correct. I guess it doesn't improve shift time directly. It reduces the travel time at the clutch pedal, which overall reduces time take to complete a full shift.

My intention on using a clutch stop is to reduce the deadzone in the clutch pedal. I can reach the end of the clutch travel faster, meaning I can get ON and OFF the clutch faster, resulting in faster shifts. FWIW, I went ahead and installed the clutch-stop, after the CDV delete. Ive got about...

We're all praying for this to happen soon!
