SupraTT2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Test drove a Supra TT J-spec Auto today and now am looking to test drive a 6 Speed Manual. I enjoy manual gearbox in general, how I have been informed that the clutch is very heavy on the manual gearbox. Well how heavy? I no its needs to be a bit heavy to cope with the 300 odd BHP but I am just wondering what its like before I test drive one, when ever I can find one near me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 The clutch is heavy, depends what you're used to really. I don't find it's a problem until it's stop/start traffic for ages then you notice it. Difficult to explain but not 'normal car' light feel to it but then again it shouldn't be a massive effort.

In my experience the clutch is heavier than my Celica and MR2 but about equal to my RS escort. Not a massive problem but we ain't talking Fieasta/Corsa 'light' here are we lads? Just off to punch someones lights out, have a few jars, smoke some tabs, all to prove I'm not a pansy Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Not heavy at all, it is an easy car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I find the gearbox itself is more annoying if anything, it's a bit 'agricultural' is the term most people on here seem to use!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
