Youre one to brag

You know what I mean. Look at trucks. Toyota might be only manual T truck you can buy? American big 3 phased then out. They’re phasing them out of cars. Corvette? Phased out. Camaro you can still but give it 2-3 more yrs? Gone. Like I said before in other thread, the big 3 are in the repair...

hahaha keep believing that. Theyre phasing out manual Ts. This is THE last of the mohicans for american vehicles.

Yea Idk S**t about Getrag. I wish theyd have gone with Tremec. A tried and true in tranny making. The pic you posted? I saw that comparison pic before. Scares me they extended it way they have without a solid foundation. However I think a company or even yourself could probably formu8late...

That’s was one instance and it was linkage. Not the transmission itself. Let’s get back to apples to apples here now 30yrs from now? Probably won’t. Be slushbox but some type of electronic integrated auto/manual transmission where it’s push button shifting or something. But an auto tranny is...

Operator error. If you indeed latch a seat? It won’t fail. One family may get paid IF this unicorn collision/catastrophe existed? But probably only 1. Not 5 families.

Bs. That’s the same as just getting into a car and a passenger doesn’t put a seatbelt on and dies. Manufacturer isn’t responsible.

Yes obviously it’s the latch. But a pull type spring actuated latch would not break similar to this:

Yea....gotta lead the sheep to slaughter...... 80% of americans are mindless

Yes have to meet and exceed for treehuggers. I prefer carbon spewing exhaust. But of course I know that wont happen. Diesels these days are pretty good. Inline 4s are not THAT heavy. And regardless theyre much more efficient, faster and more torque. But US standards crapped ALL over VW Jetta for...

Adapters or bell housings? Ummmm I know they dont bolt together. Could they? Absolutely. But its more along the lines of mounts moved ect so that they could bolt together. And outputshaft splines are same count as the 2.7L. I just think Ford failed to deliver a manual Transmission in 2.7L. Its...

Noooo too good for us USA folks. Give us the crap end of the stick

It’s ve nice but American companies are in the repair business. Not the quality vehicle business lol more money repairing than selling a vehicle.

A simple tune will fix any concerns you might have. Just like a carburetor. You tune it different up north than down south.

They can engineer them to flip up like that without safety issue. Its really simple. You bulletproof the locking mechanism. Fairly easy to do actually. Will they do it? Probably not. These days its basically slide forwards and fold seat forward which serves its purpose just as well

Reliable daily driver? Whats your definition of reliable? Ultimate reliability? 2.3L 7spd manual. And reason I say this? ( hoping the 2.3 is as reliable as the 2.7 enginewise) Transmission. A manual is ALWAYS more reliable. Less moving parts the better. Slush box has only so many miles before...

THey shouldve had 2.7L with MT. Stupid not to as the transmission can handle what comes in 2.7L. Now if someone was to reprogram it? It may not handle the power then. But factory it most certainly can.

And what exactly is safety requirements if I may ask since rear seating these days in crossover, SUVs do this?

Only with manual transmission. Not a slushbox
