Sperglord Firecock posted:..... I've been doing that. I'll stop doing that. I just thought that as long as the clutch is in, it's in neutral, so it doesn't matter if you move the knob to first. I'll try to avoid rehashing my entire disjointed transmission lubrication spiel from the stupid question thread a couple weeks ago, but you always want your countershaft spinning when the driven wheels are turning. Since first is unsynchronized, neutral with the clutch up is the best way to achieve this when you're nearing a full stop, until you get to the point of learning how to to double-clutch (don't worry about double clutching for now, wait until you've mastered all the other stuff).

Sperglord Firecock posted:NOPE. This only applies to the point where you're at the bottom of 2nd and would otherwise be going into 1st. If you're going faster than that and slowing down then you should be downshifting as you go because that will always deliver sufficient oil to the mainshaft. Exception being a surprise yellow light/panic stop, in which case you just hammer the clutch and do what you gotta do to not hit poo poo. And yeah, you clutch into neutral but it won't explode if you don't, it'll just put a little extra stress on the collars and synchros (and it takes a lot more force on the stick) unless the gears are not loaded.

Sperglord Firecock posted:The only thing I have going for me is that all of the major running components on my car work, the engine/clutch/turbo were completely rebuilt about 5k miles ago, and so are effectively brand new parts, and I have enthusiasm! Also you seem to have a good attitude and you have a gaggle of jerks to answer your questions in exchange for watching your adventures. and yeah clutching in to stop from third is bad, 2nd is also going to be your best engine braking gear anyway.

SperginMcBadposter posted:Is this true for most transmissions? I may have been unintentionally beating on mine if it is. Erm, actually I was just about to correct myself on that. Z31s had T5s (WCT5 in the case of the Turbo models) which did have a synchro'd first gear. If it goes into 1st while you're moving without drama or having to double clutch it's probably synchronized. I believe a synchronized first is more common than non-synchro'd but don't quote me on that. All I know is the C59 in my Vibe is definitely not synchro'd on 1st.

Safety Dance posted:AI: "Don't eat motor oil." I've used Rotella as cooking oil. Fresh engine oil that hasn't been inside an engine is not really toxic or harmful aside from a tendency to give you diarrhea in large doses (<250ml), nausea in extreme cases (>1L). Not to say that was in any way a good idea but in a pinch it worked and hasn't affected my health. (I was camping, cooking with a cast skillet and spilled the container of vegetable oil I had brought. I had already read the MSDS and knew what I was doing and I totally didn't want to have to reseason the skillet. It actually didn't even taste bad) Turbo Fondant fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jan 3, 2015 |

Adiabatic posted:Really, why doesn't Sperglord just get a 240sx? Actually, yeah S13 kinda works. KA24 is the perfect motor for babby's first 5spd, it's got the JDM doriftu factor spergcock is pretty hard set on, they rust slower and are much more common than z31s and he can do an SR swap when he gets bored with the

Sperglord Firecock posted:Also, that Stanza Wagon, what's up with it? Because it looks awful. It's an '80s Mazda5. They're slow and they look ridiculous but they've got charm, personality, a clutch pedal and a poo poo ton of space.

SperginMcBadposter posted:I need a better name so I stop getting confused with him. That or you could change your av to his old one, slap on a pair of ridiculous pants and start pretending to be him. Come on it'll be hilarious. (honestly it's not a tough distinction to make, esp considering you've had that av and crewtag for a while and his is a big ol' redtitle)
