My whiny little b**ch thread.

this thread has once again turned into me against you... MTvsAT.

can't we all just get along.... The MT guys give the AT guys no credit and the AT guys are the same way....

i would love for someone to start a poll.

something like knowing what you know now would you choose a AT instead of the MT.

and ask the AT guys the same question would you change to the MT if given the chance... i'm betting it wouldn't even be close................

Tbh my transmission is loud, it sounds like plates rattling when you put the clutch down in 1st or 2nd, sometimes getting into 2nd is a little clunky or feels like it's catching the sides. If your coming off the gas and shifting into second but sorta coasting to a stop then there's a rattle again sounding like two plates hitting each other or something under the car. Once i'm out of 2nd I don't have any problems with any other gear just 1st and 2nd. Also I think your right, sometimes I have to be very slow and deliberate to get smooth sweet gear changes, other times this just doesn;t work and makes the journey very jerky and I have to move quickly through the gears, revving high in first to get a smooth gear change. But sometimes if i rev high in first the gear change is horrendous lol. I'm putting it down to me 1. not being a professional driver, 2. Change in weather conditions/how much the car has warmed up 3. Maybe a slightly weaker point of the car in comparison to how well put together the rest of it is. Mine in a 62 (late 2012) plate car, I bought it with 2,000 miles on and it now has 6k on the clock... oh and it did it from the day i picked it up lol so thats why i believe i haven't done it to the car. I took it to nissan dealership who said they couldn't hear anything wrong with it lol... must have just been my ears picking up the clunks, and plate rattle then... tbh now i've just put it down to the car being pretty manly, australian almost in it's rawness haha!

all normal. look into replacing/removing the clutch helper spring to help your shifts be smoother.

Your Honor, I object on the basis that the witness is avoiding the question, the witness was asked to whether or not identify the culprit in this case. Instead the witness is going on about how there was a battle between the AT and the MT, we already know that this has happened and this is why we are at trial to determine who was the war criminals in this case.
