Wait. How much tq can the stock clutch handle before it melts and you spend money on removing it from the block for the upgrade. Honestly question.

In some cases it can't even handle the stock torque levels.

I had a test drive of both versions and chose to buy the MT. There are occasions when I wish I had the AT.

That's such bullshit. I'm tuned to stage 2 with zero clutch slippage. People need to learn how to drive.

Whether right or wrong the only argument I have for manual drivers is that they are trying to hold onto the physical romance, art, and emotion of driving. In a modern platform, that nostalgia is kinda already dead/numb and a manual can’t completely fix that (unless you go full race car mods), but it helps us feel one step closer. Similar reason why people modify their cars to get a louder exhaust/intake or stiffer suspension, we all want to feel something when we drive our Supras. For the manual owners, physically shifting the trans helps us get one step closer to feeling something.

I love my manual for the street and loved it for the one single track experience that I had. I know I made the right choice for what I wanted and my use case for the Supra. I am not a race car driver nor do I pretend to be one on the street so I don’t care if you beat me from one streetlight to the next. If you’re personally trying to push every second around a race track than I can respect that pursuit, but it’s hard to feel the same way about any street driven automatic sports cars.

Wait a minute, you just unlocked your ECU 2 months ago. SUS!

12 months on JB+ @ 310kw and 550nm: Zero clutch issues. And yes, I've been running MHD OTS Stage 2 for two months: Zero clutch slippage.

Unfortunately all these autospastic commenters fail to acknowledge that driving a manual properly is a genuine skill: Being able to drive a MT for 5km without stalling has little bearing on how competent a MT driver you are.

And don't believe me.. I don't care. ?

CVT with fake gear changes>Auto>Manual. The debate is now over. Thread can be closed.

Oh boy, I got a bad feeling about this thread…

People spending this much time arguing between manual and automatic is just a way to distract from the fact that in another decade or two everything is going to be crummy all-electric with no gears to shift at all, manual or otherwise.
