That's a shame. I have intentions of trading my JTR 6MT in on a diesel in 2-3years. I won't be trading for a hybrid. It'll probably be a RAM instead in that case.
1. Who are the experts? Most of these posts are anecdotal by common users.
2. Have you EVER heard a single person complain about over-gearing? It pretty much never happens.
3. It's transmission-dependent as well. The AT is far more adaptable to being under-geared than the MT is.
So any real ACT vs CF data out there?
ACT:
479 ft/lb capacity
No hydraulics to change
slightly bigger disk (11")
significantly cheaper
(2) flywheel choices: Street mass (28.8lb)/pro mass (40.8lb)
CF:
494 ft/lb capacity
hydraulics to change (could be a positive or a negative)
slightly smaller...
Question for the day:
Can One use the ACT clutch with the Centerforce flywheel? The CF flywheel is about 3lb heavier and, to me, that sounds desirable. Perhaps I'm overthinking it.
Edit*- Answered my own question by reading the fine print; they are NOT compatible.
What does everyone think Stellantis will do? I'm holding out on an aftermarket clutch until I see their plans, but I'm genuinely curious how this will be resolved, and when. Is it even plausible that they will replace the clutch with a stouter unit?
?. You sound like me. I could spend $10,000 on shitty furniture, ORRRR.... I could spend $10k on woodworking equipment that I've been wanting anyways, build my own higher quality furniture, and still have the equipment leftover when I'm done.
Years later, house still pretty void of major...
I had an idea after stumbling upon a YT video featuring the Bronco's 7-speed MT...
I don't have any real complaints about the Aisin D478 itself, though we all know the ongoing clutch woes. That said, the MT88 seems like a sweet transmission. The ratios are phenomenal compared to the D478...
