5 Myths about Stick Shifts

Less expensive to replace it maybe but how often do you have to do that? Compare that to worn out clutches, throw-out bearings, sloppy bushings in the shift linkage, etc with a manual. I dont hear any complaints about AT but see all kinds of threads related to the shifter, clutch, etc.

A clutch replacement is far less expensive. And, most clutch kits come with TOBs. If you know how to be easy on the TOB, then it will last a long long time. Bushings are cheap...Shift linkage?? You mean the cables? Keep them lubed and you are fine.

I hit 97,600 miles today , Still pulls like new . Never thought the clutch would last this long . Boosted 26 ish with the new air box lid lifted 1 " today. Still tweekin it to get back to the 28 ish PSI .

Your boost will lower, the easier she breathes and exhales. Do you have exhaust and header mods?

Lifting the lid seemed to give me about 6% trim increase and 9* temp increase. The air increase seems to outpace the temperature penalty unless it got stupid hot out. 28psi times 94% equals 26.32psi.
