I'm sure DSG's are awesome (and I know they sound shit hot on upshifts) but I like having a clutch pedal.

Then again, I also hate (well, not hate but rather like not having in certain cars/situations) power steering and power assisted brakes.

Each to their own. I don't want to cut laps n'th degrees faster, I want to have fun and drive like a hooligan which is easier in a proper manual.

Thread resurrection: a couple of years on, have the DCT boxes been reliable for you guys? I'm thinking of getting something like a Polo GTi as my next daily driver (once I get sick of the XR5) but I'd like to know whether the dual clutch boxes have been reliable or not?

My Girlfriend has one. Its a nice gearbox, drives like an auto when in drive, and is lots of fun in sport.

Personally, I couldnt live with it cause I hate autos and its a bit to much like an auto for me, but absoloutly cant fault the gearbox.

For a daily but its great, I drive it when I cant be bothered driving around with my button clutch haha

No one's mentioned the Ford Fiesta, tiny cheap POS but it has an automatically shifting dual clutch 6 speed manual.

Interesting you call them a POS. Have you driven one? You'll do hard to find a more fun car for the money. A seriously good bit of kit, even if it is FWD.

Anyone had first hand experience with the EvoX box? I've read they are decent from factory but a tune touchup and they are hard to fault especially on the track.

I dropped in to my local dealer but the only way i could test 1 was if i ordered 1 in....pfft

I have, it feels uncomfortable and awkward on the road, everything you touch is made of cheap hollow plastic and resetting the clutch is a massive pain in the arse job(Not something the owner is likely to encounter but still)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
