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...
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.
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. 😂
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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....
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. 🙃
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.
