AE86tofu SG

Subbx SG

Embarassed

RooP SG

Shit i just saw this... siao siao. I get ready to have old crankshafts n brake pads thrown at me...

Lancerlot SG

hey i drive the old merc b4, its definately 10x more harder than the iveco. the fiat 3 ton wif crane also damn bad. but the best ride is the M.A.N skid tanker, can go 80-90 becaz no SWD n summore can top up urself wif the 4 pumps you are carrying Laughing bwahahaha

currently driving auto, a bit boring since i'm used to manual but its relaxing, growing old liao must take it easy Smile

AE86tofu SG

the old merc???wtf?? heard that u have 2 like almost stand up 2 turn 2 full lock while stationary...i perfer my M.A.N 7 ton....no SWD...that one carries my bridging equiptment...8 speed manual...hahahaha

AE86tofu SG

yeah....esp when u're stuck at traffic jams at the kaki bukit area...and at the end of the day yr knee or left buttock will hurt like hell...oh yeah and for slopes too...autos the way to go

iveco SG

There's no difference whether you drive an Iveco Turbocity 480 or MAN 18.280 HOCLR. Both use Voith gearboxes.

LH83 SG

If I'm not wrong, there's one more vehicle that uses a similar gearbox to the new MAN 5 tons... and that's the BRONCO armoured vehicle... hee...

The reason I ask this because it seems to me that manual car is at the verge of extinction Surprised i think we need a new faculty in local U to study 'the impending extinction of manual cars'

even touring cars are going auto- well semi-auto at least.... *sigh*

manual is the way to go, regardless of traffic - and best when u around the 99-wan' at buona vista!

merc 3-ton easier to repair leh! Mr. Green

thats because semi-autos, or sequential shifts, are much faster and more accurate. which human can shift a manual the way a racing car's autoshifts do it? Such is the pursuit of ultimate speed, that any factors which MAY affect performance are taken out of the equation. I wouldn't want a fully automatic car though. In my opinion, the best sort of boxes are the sequential shifters.

AE86tofu SG

If i'm correct the gearbox on my M.A.N 7 ton (the old one that i'm using) has the words (ZF) on it...seriously the IVECO 3 ton is damn Fvcked up....4ever air leak and u have 2 warm the brakes up everytime b4 u go off 4 detail....and the gaer is 4ever jumping....must hold one... Evil or Very Mad thankfully tthe 3 ton 4 my test was perfect....

AE86tofu SG

and i'm talking abt trucks...not buses here

Tayysj SG

so sequential is the best? for sequential can u shift from a high gear to gear 1 immediately or must go thru the whole sequence? it’s semi-auto so which part of it is auto?

iveco SG

Buses wiv Voith D.863 gearboxes are nicest to drive. I envy those svc cpts who get to drive Scania N113 CRB.

mujiland SG

Think it will be sequentially down and up, hence the name Mr. Green

Rx8driver SG

auto or manual, i say manual because manual cheaper than auto need extra $3000, what happan’s when forget to change auto gear box oil, cham liao lor. if you know how to control manual you can save more Fuel, compare to 5 speed manual and 4 speed auto, but to compare 5 speed auto with 5 speed manual, i would say auto is better. Like the accord 2.4 i-VTEC 5 speed auto.
