I've had the x-spec in 2 of my S550's - this time I did x-spec low profile and it's still plenty high enough. I wish it were slightly lower - but I don't think you can go wrong with either. I wanted flatstick but it wasn't an option for 18 at the time - that may have changed. I think it can...

+1 to all that ^^ MGW will make your life even better, but the stock shifter isn't bad to get started. It's very easy especially with rev matching. Missing a gear is easy if you rush or just ham-fist it by chance too. We've all done it. Time and repetitions - 3/4 should be easy once you...

I'm a little late chiming in but I love the stock 18 clutch - I jumped up to over 600 wheel torque so I'm going through some pains with a new Mantic cerametallic right now - but the stock clutch still looks like new - drives smooth - engages smooth - no noise. If it held up for the hit on a...

I had heard nothing but great things about Mantic and loved the billet pressure plate and billet steel intermdiates - it looked like extremely high quality stuff. I paid a serious premium for it and I'm about to pull my trans a 4th time tomorrow to swap back in the same original unit but this...

Right on man - good luck. I literally just tied into the wire yellow/gray at the old fuel hat plug that's no longer used and made sure I had an excellent connection splice and insulated it to prevent corrosion or coming apart. Hasn't given me any issues to date. Thanks for the prior above...

I'm hitting a rough patch with mods too - driveshaft end cap just popped off tonight after the aluminum adapter plate decided "no more" on the threads up front. If anything above helps ya - cool - if not - let me know what I can do to help!

Thanks for the info again. The first time I used my stock TOB because mantic didn't include one and mine had 2500 miles on it. The second time I pulled the trans / installed the mantic, I replaced the TOB anyway with a new ford oem one from the dealer and it was identical. I pump then vacuum...

Like 1/2" or so off the floor with stock TOB, mantic says that's perfect

Thank you for the update. Racking my brain what it could be. Geoff at Mantic has my clutch and says everything's fine but the noise and the gear grinding it comes with can't be right. Hoping for a good resolution. 2014-17 or 2018-19 car Burkey?

Power was out for a couple hours so I installed a foster sound tube to my whipple on my 2018. Underdash pics never look sexy. But it's a nice clean install. Waiting for Mantic to get a clutch back to me so I can put the trans back in again and hear this blower now!

There's only two options for clutches on 18-19 cars so far - McLeod and Mantic. Exedy isn't currently working on one they said last week. I sent my clutch back to Mantic Monday morning after two separate installations resulted in the same noise and disc/input shaft partial engagement a number...

Nice! Now it's time to throw in some oil pump gears and a blower since you've got the oil drained :beer:

I drove both but wanted the absolute control of gears to be a manual and lever based affair. I think both camps will have pros and cons and that list could vary by the author of the list. I appreciate everyone's viewpoint on it. I loved the auto for tons of reasons. I love the manual for...

I also like it. Maybe toss some conduit over those wires to clean it up for some more wow factor too. I'd be curious to see the trunk side - did you close it all in with a wall? Props man!

Being the OP, I'd have preferred if those interested cast their vote (and posted any aftermarket clutch useage if possible) and didn't have others disinterested deign to "kill this nonsense with fire," and de-rail it. But that's just how I was brought up - to treat others' questions and ideas...

That would be useful if we knew how many had sold - but this merely indicates the state of inventory. Does it mean MT outsold AT by a huge margin? Or vice versa? I can't answer that. I do note that, although you've posted numerous times about your opinion of the threads existence, you've not...

I'm good with calling it roughly 50% for either transmission. That's higher than I would have thought - but I'm glad some find the rowing of gears to be worth it. I can't say you weren't right about the direction of some of the comments - but I think it's interesting that the clear question...

Thanks! It's early to tell but it seems like a roughly 50% distribution with initial responses. I'm curious to see how it plays out - and I/m personally glad to see there's still lots of manual cars out there.

I guess I'm not familiar with all those abbreviations on the forum. I'll google it when I get home. Just curious what % of MT's are out there for 2018 personally. **edit** - I googled those and still have no idea what you're trying to say. And I was definitely not wanting to start an auto vs...

I'm so confused by what you mean here. Please elaborate.
