Splinter's been doing a 5MT swap since he exploded his 4EAT a few days ago.

yeah after i finished installing the trans with him, then i had to give him a crash course on how to drive a manual trans and do hill starts.

haha it sure was interesting.

After the lessons, I managed to get it all the way home, then stalled it in my driveway

Did you guys install the hillholder? Best feature evar. I wish other cars had that -- I drove a pretty new manual Tacoma a few times and it was a bitch starting up on hills. I'm used to the hillholder now.

nope, just basicly installed the trans and tried to fix all the oil leaks emerging from his car. That was about it.

hooray! now you can learn how to drive!

Sweetness.

The hill-holder is there there if you aren't experinced enough with your clutch. Not neccasary but a nicety in a pinch.

Sorry if Ipissed anyone off with that statement. Duluth is a hill everywhere I go so the hill-holder annoys me since I have to push the clutch all the way in to use it. A little practice makes you better than any damn helper.[/i]

I don't mind having to push the clutch in all the way. Before mid-January, though, I had been driving (stick-shift only until July) for 2.5 years without a hill-holder and had been doing just fine.

I do have to say, though, that the combination of my unevenly worn throwout bearing, the hill-holder, and not driving stick-shift very much for the six months before I got the car have made me worse at clutch modulation than I was before. I'm going to have a lot of "driver recalibration" to do once I do the engine swap into my G20 and start driving that again...

well i taught him the 'ye old pull ebrake trick. Instead of having to leave his foot on the break pedal during hill starts.. figured that was the easiest way for him to start.. cause "almost" every car has a working handbreak..with a few noted exceptions. lol.

I haven't ever had a problem with hillstarts, and I don't even use the E-brake
