I loved the yellow zip tie on the clutch pedal bracket holding the hood release cable that the return spring would rub on on both cars lol (afterthought). Im not bashing the stick guys here ive own sticks all my life. Im a diesel guy at heart and i miss my cummins everyday 2001 6speed HO 2500 quad cab oringed the head stock bottom end reground the cam 150+ hp unrated injectors,B1 single turbo , TsT powermax3 box ,propane and nitrous w bottle warmer on motor was around 513 propane on and nitrous with the box on 10 put 716hp and 1498tq still have the sheet somewhere... Sorry off topic what im getting at is that ive had all manuals all my life and the tr6060 is the hands down the worst shifting trans i have ever driven and the parts that make the manual like the clutch bracket and return spring and robbing the brake fluid res and not havin a dedicated res is just plain junk and a poor design. My cummins shifted better then this trans it was a 6speed known as the NV5600. After owning an auto and looking under her skirt a bit i would almost say they built the auto first and then said o s--- we gotta build a stick fml....quick whip somethin up an yadayada yeah i know i can spend a crap load and make it shift like pure sex but why should i have too do that on a 40,000.00 car i thought that was included when i bought it...i just hope the 6th gen has a better manual for all of us and cause i really do enjoy shifting  |
to this one I must reply, driving my NV5600 5 speed or the G56 6 speed diesel is easier than the car. Hust shifter helped but baning gears in either dodge is easier that just truth!
my 86 Mustang GT shifted better (sorry Camaro)
I still love my car and can shift it pretty darn well but I've hit the "grind it or find it" place while "spirited driving 2 or 5 times in 14K miles not good by any means makes me sick every time.still never happened jamming gears in my Dodges or Toyota 4x4's either...I'm sure this made no sense so let me say MustangKiller, I agree............
