Yeah agreed. I seem to recall in the prototype there was a lot of really cool leather stuff. Super weird that no one has made one aftermarket yet. There must be some kind of embargo or something against it where Ford is preventing anyone from making or selling any. Every other car in existence...
Currently the rough country bar is the only one on the market for standard bumpers. So unless someone else decides to make one, rough country has the monopoly. And at this point it looks like no other manufacturers are interested in making anything for standard bumper Broncos.
How is there still no aftermarket (or OEM) options for different shift boots for manual transmission Broncos? I don't know about in the off-road world, but as far as street cars go, that's one of the most popular ways to customize one's vehicle. For 99% of cars, there's generally tens if not...
I wonder if anyone else has watched their tach when pressing clutch in? How long does it take you to go from 5k rpm to 2k? (No gas or brake or anything, just clutch all the way in and hold it there while revs drop)
Ok I've timed it a bit, by taking some video. I've determined the revs drop almost exactly 1k per second.
In one test, I got to 45 mph in 2nd gear at 5k RPM on a level road, in Normal GOAT mode. Then, I let off the gas and fully pressed in the clutch quickly to just let the revs fall. It took...
Is there a way to disable that? Also, should I drive differently knowing that feature? Should I intentionally not give it throttle when taking off from a stop? I tried doing that a couple times and it did not feel very smooth.
After further research..!
First of all: idles at 800-1200. Seems pretty high to me.
Second of all, and this is quite astounding to me: Clutch out in first gear while I’m giving it no gas does not stall the car. In fact the car just starts moving. This means it must be getting some throttle...
Not me, on a long ride on my adv bike I'll definitely switch to neutral when stopped. Stop lights here are like 20 minutes long and my hand will get fatigued... :)
Yeah but if you let out the clutch quickly, it will jump the RPM's to a slower speed. So I either have to wait, or clutch out quite slowly (which, to my knowledge, would increase clutch wear)
My 2.3L with the manual seems to have a lot of rev hang. Let's say I'm in 2nd gear at 3k RPM and I want to shift up to 3rd. If I shift to 3rd quickly it will jolt and jump the revs down to about 2k. So ideally I'd want to wait and let the revs drop before clutching out. Problem is it legit takes...
