And I may resume back to normal on my drive back home...

My first new vehicle purchase. Waited 2 months for delivery because I wouldn’t settle for the automatic. #toyota #tacoma #savethemanuals
@tikibunnyimports another ride so in need of a proper transmission… #SaveTheManuals
I just had a couple of successful heal-n-toe downshifts during my morning commute to work. I parked the car (in the remotest corner of the lot as usual), had no one to share my achievement with, and just walked to the building with a smirk on my face. 🤓 #savethemanuals #SaveTheManual

Had service work done on my car last week. About 6 miles after picking up my car, engine seized with no warning at all.

All temps, sensors were all nominal. No stored OBD2 codes. Just completely quit between shifts.

I have religiously taken care of all maintenance items before the "normal" service intervals. I send oil samples to oil analysis labs on a regular basis.

I flew to New Mexico to buy this car as it was one of 3 manual transmission models in the US for sale at the time.

To say I'm upset about this is an understatement.

Shop I had work done has a 50K mile warranty on parts/labor. I'm hoping whatever happened is covered, but that's not really a consolation given the sudden nature of the failure.

No oil trails, no inspection holes, only a smell of clutch under the hood. I wish I had a better idea of what happened. I had the car towed back to my shop so they can diagnose the issue.

@tikibunnyimports @Basmitharts can you get it with a stickshift? 😃

What's not to love about this beautiful old Merc I spotted while out grabbing a coffee this morning?

Clean, classy and a 3 pedal manual. When was the last time that Benz built something this good?

Mini, longtime #savethemanuals advocate, kills off its stickshifts

The automatic choice to discontinue the manual transmission marks yet another chapter in the evolution of the modern automotive industry
