Re: Driving a stick isn't dead
He doesn't seem to understand what he's reporting on. He says it's not an old-school granny gear but that's exactly what it is. It doesn't matter if it's labeled 1, L, or C. It's been a fixture in 3/4-ton and up trucks for decades. It's not a feature commonly included on vehicles without towing, ha...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
So did a buddy of mine working at the Tank Command. There was a switch in the shifter that uncoupled an electric clutch whenever the shift knob was pushed forward or pulled rearward. After the driver selected the desired gear range and released the shift knob, the electric clutch engaged again and ...

The "team" is two big dogs; hence the need for a mini minivan. The crates fit nicely inside.Rope-Pusher wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 10:03 am Can you drive the team and the equipment to soccer tonight?

Mystery solved. I ran some more stopwatch tests. A set distance at indicated 30 mph and got 25 actual. Ran a set distance at indicated 45 (Hines Drive) and got 40 actual. A new run on the freeway at indicated 75 gave 70 actual. so basically we are off by indicted 5mph too high. I can live with that....

Re: The beast has come...
I remember having a version of the NVG T750 with ratios for 2.0L engine installed in a vehicle that had the 2.4L engine. Kept the original clutch from the 2.4L, but all those that drove it after the silverbox was swapped marveled at "How much better this clutch was". The tranny for 2.0 L ...
