ScottsGT Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Funny manual trans story time. When I got my 2015 Mustang my wife insisted to drive it because she knows how to drive a manual. Told her OK, and as we started out the driveway I tried to explain how the six speed shifter “works”. “I know how to drive a damned manual transmission! You need to shut the F up and let me drive!” Okay, then why are you in 5th gear? She was in the process of shifting from 2nd to 3rd, but because she didn’t know how the shifter worked she went to 5th. I was an instant humble and she hasn’t driven it since that day 9 years ago. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Common Scott. Stock shifter is notoriously known for this. You need to explain to her, that 'this' is not her fault and everyone deals with the same issue, ,,,justifying why you need Barton shifter assembly, Steeda clutch spring and tranny mount bushings. Duh! https://www.summitracing.com/parts/baa-bmhyb15?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAiA04arBhAkEiwAuNOsIu__7G1CkYZq0rZDCCuRriuY0-GrAU78iyhA1rsUVYVrrNZQZRAfHxoCWR4QAvD_BwE 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I find it so funny how many of our 'American cousins' have a problem with manual gearboxes. The vast majority of gearboxes over here are manual lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Don’t forget some ‘trannies’ ( will I be in trouble for using that word?) 🤭have a 1 to 4 shift pattern computer generated if under a certain speed and rpm. My Corvette does that, so I just make sure my speed is up a bit and same with rpms and the computer “lets” me do it the way I want. And for the record , personally , I really don’t need a computer to help me shift they just ‘think’ tjey need to help. 🙄😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve added all three since then! Steeds pedal spring made it feel like a normal clutch. for a while I was driving without any spring. Another bright idea from Ford. Having a clutch pedal that tries to push you out of the drivers seat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of gearboxes over here are manual lol When my sis moved to London for work( the UK one, not the one a couple hours west of Toronto), she had to get a license that only allowed automatics even though she could drive standard as it wasn't indicated on her Ontario license. Her work even had to special order her an automatic as her company car because of it. She eventually did a retest and got rid of that restriction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a clutch pedal that tries to push you out of the drivers seat. The clutch in my '91 Beat has such a short travel it feels more like a button. It's at least got some weight to it as do the brake and gas pedals. Mind you, the pedal box is so tiny you could probably step on all three with one foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
