hey guys let me no how your tranny still runs today!! still in good condition? or sluggish

 

MINE HAS 15,000 on it now and seems to be fine I mean its still the worst transmission ever designed but it still works like it is supposed to. tacoma truck tranny should have stayed in the damn truck!

 

hahaha O.o so its a truck tranny? wow thats pretty lameee how can a sexy car like the IS have a whack tranny like that -__- well since the IS is luxury we shouldnt be running the car anyways haha

 

I have about 12,000 miles on my vehicle now and I don't have any complaints. The shifts from 1-2 can be a little rough sometimes if you don't go straight back from gears 1-2 but pull it toward the left while you shift.

Besides that it's fun to drive a manual even if it's slow.

 

mine is decent... i have grinded going into 2nd a couple times but that was my eff up

i get the usual jar of marbles some times

 

I don't really like the feel of the tranny. My civic tranny feel better. But no problems with tranny except small vibrating noise when car is cold (only in winter). I have now 68 xxx km that's about 42500m.

 

my trans still runs the like the first day i got it. yea it isnt a good trans to begin with, but you get used to it. when shifting from 1-2, it's easier to apply pressure when putting it into second, but not enough to where you bang 2nd and let the gear drop into place when it needs to. like instead of shifting when you want to, apply enough pressure to not bang the gear but let the shifter sit there for usually 1 second or less and it will make the shift from 1-2 easier. play around, trial and error is your friend

 

Sitting at 20,000 KM and I can bang through the gears no problem. No noise or mis shifts.

 

thanks guys for the info! =] let me no more!! keep them coming! so i can make my decision

 

I have 104K and still banging gears with the stock clutch

 

104k?! wow good to hear it holding up with that mileage.

 

almost at 70k and i'm fine with it. after you get the short shifter it feels a lot better

 

Same here, actually it did the jar of marbles sound this morning that scared the crap out of my old man.

BTW: I just turned 29,000 miles this afternoon.

 

damn i thought I had a lot of miles i just hit 26k haha! Im dreading that 30k coming right around the corner!

 

i put on about 17k in about a year :'(
