So now we know that Toyota is going to put a manual transmission in the 2023 Supra. Score for the manuals!

Very interesting....

So I'm guessing that most or at least some of the people here have at least heard of dual mass flywheels. Maybe some of you even have advanced knowledge about them. But my question is this---do you know if the car you drive now or the cars you've owned in the past used a dual mass flywheel? I was su...

Oh well....I was going to add some pictures, but it seems that pictures can't be added anymore.

...to install a new clutch. The stock clutch couldn't handle the extra power, so I decided to go with an aftermarket clutch that can handle 375 lb.ft. of torque, which is probably pretty close to where the car is right now. I was able to pull the transmission in my garage using a mid-rise lift (EZca...

Audi returned to manual transmissions with the 2021 A3. Unfortunately, they decided to skip the 2021 model year for that model in the USA. So we will have to wait and see if the new 2022 model keeps the manual transmission or not.

Hmm....same thread from last November....

I've said this before and I'll say it again---I think it would be a riot to DRIVE a car in a sea of autonomous vehicles. Why? Well, they will always try their best to avoid a collision with another vehicle. And think about how much fun you could have in a situation like that. Gotta love robot cars....

What do you think of this conversation I found on another site?'' Autonomous vehicle proponents have realized that pedestrians will probably game the system! Since cars will no longer be a danger to them - pedestrians will walk onto the streets of cities, walking right into the street, any place, a...

I'm not sure if any of you subscribe to VINwiki YouTube channel. If you like cool car stories, definitely check it out. Anyway, the founder of VINwiki (it's an app, the YouTube channel just supports the app for the most part) is big on supercars and hypercars. He owns several and he used to be a sal...

Nice option if you don't mind having a company do a conversion on your new Supra... https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/13/2020-toyota-supra-manual-transmission-conversion/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_c2E9dCZyY3Q9aiZxPSZlc3JjPXMmc291cmNlPXdlYiZjZD0xMyZ2ZWQ9MmFoVUt...

i'm leaning toward the latter situation, where they will be more of a liability and overall undesirable. As is pointed out in other forums I've frequented, the enthusiasts who are gung ho manuel are a small minority, despite how things may seem online and at car meats. i'm not saying i'm very happy...

Wow...I think this forum is dying more quickly than the manual transmission.

It's just a thought, but do you think our manual transmission vehicles will start to command a higher resale value (private sale, not dealer trade-in) as fewer and fewer new cars become available with manual transmissions? Or will they simply become a major liability because nobody will want them, r...

this brings up a good topic for discussion for this forum. manuals used to be more common, more fuel efficient, quicker, cheaper to make, sell and buy, and more reliable (eye think they still are of course), but now are rare (practically niche?), not as fuel efficient (in general), are a hassle for...
