  1. She's gone ...

    Interesting. I've been driving manual transmission sport cars / sporty cars for 35 consecutive years now. I do also have an automatic transmission in my SUV and that's been the case since the year 2000 when I purchased my first 4wd SUV for winter driving snow. I simply can't NOT have a manual...
  2. If it wasnt for the supra, what car to get????

    They look fantastic lightly modded. Put some wheels on, lower it, and maybe a lip and mild rear wing and it's a total transformation. Look at this:
  3. If it wasnt for the supra, what car to get????

    For me, it would be a new M2 because nothing else of similar price and performance has manual. Or I'd spend more and get a Porsche. That's almost certainly what I would do.
  4. About to go Bald

    Sorry for not replying immediately.... But I tend to read this forum with a week or two between return visits.
  5. About to go Bald

    Only the best for me. Others can do with torque converters if that's what makes them smile.
  6. About to go Bald

    Slushbox belongs on the mushy vehicle. It's literally a perfect match. Like I said earlier, I love the ZF8 in my Jeep. It's perfect. Give me a short ratio 6MT in a sports car every day of the week and twice on Sunday. 😂

    The Jeep is the mall crawler. The 6MT is my performance car. Not sure how that escaped you.
  8. Clutch slipping after 2 months of ownership

    FWIW, I used to work as a technician at a Toyota dealership. What I described was common practice. That was long ago, but I'd guess that they are still doing it. If not, they should be.
  9. Clutch slipping after 2 months of ownership

    Right, so the dealership should do this: Mr Customer, we will investigate the cause of your clutch failure. You will be responsible for this diagnostic work. However, if it's determined that your clutch failure was due to a faulty part and not due to anything you did, then the entire cost will...
  10. Clutch slipping after 2 months of ownership

    I'm not familiar with this particular transmission, but the manual transmission on my Audi does have an inspection plug that can easily be removed to see the clutch/bell housing.
  11. Clutch slipping after 2 months of ownership

    They are wrong for making a blanket statement without investigating the failure mode. You cannot just say it's not a warranty repair without knowing what caused the failure.
  12. Clutch slipping after 2 months of ownership

    Listen up.... I had a situation similar to this with a different car. When a clutch starts to slip on a brand new car with such low mileage, it's almost always due to gear oil contamination of the clutch disk. There are two very simple ways that can happen. 1. A faulty seal, and 2. A bad...
  13. New sticker gets as much attention as the car

    I'd love to see an AWD Supra, especially with manual transmission. That combo is getting increasingly rare these days.
  14. About to go Bald

    It is the same. All ZF8HP transmissions are the same. Different tuning and ratios don't make them different. And I'm not shitting on them at all. I said repeatedly that I have one in my Jeep and I like it.
  15. About to go Bald

    I already mentioned the tuning is different. That much should be obvious. But for all intents and purposes, it's the same 8 speed transmission. But yeah, the one on my Jeep is built to handle higher torque than the lightweight version in the Supra. I already knew that, but I didn't want to...
  16. About to go Bald

    Compare it? No, only the transmission since it's exactly the same. My performance car has a 6MT. My mall crawler has a slushbox. Priorities. LOL
  17. About to go Bald

    Piece of shit? Like you? 😆 Okay Nancy. I've had it for 5 years now and never had a single issue. Oil changes and tires, nothing else But I do like having the same slushbox in my Jeep that's in your Supra. For my car, I have a 6MT. I do like the ZF8 for the mall crawler though....
  18. About to go Bald

    Jeep has the same ZF8HP. Its identical to the Supra, but obviously with different tuning. It's a good transmission. Especially for trips to the grocery store. 🙃
  19. Should I get an AT in the meantime?

    No, wait for the manual. You'll get raped buying an automatic and selling it so quickly. WaIt and get the car you really want. The manual transmission car will be worth it.
  20. About to go Bald

    Nah, the Jeep itself is awesome. The ZF8 is about average.
