That's because you've driven shit electric steering setups like the ones in new BMWs (340i, etc.). There are a couple decent ones (still not as good as hydraulic but getting close) like the IS350 F-Sport.

are you just going to keep driving it as is? or fix it up a little
>>15433519
No. If it doesn't have a clutch pedal/has a PRNDL it's not a manual. No exceptions. Flappy paddles are shit in mass produced cars and you know it.
>>15433541
Just crawl along in first. Any modern-ish fuel injected car will keep itself from stalling and creep at around 1 mph if you let off all 3 pedals.
>>15434099
I'm not sure of the ratio, probably 1:1, but I feel like I have such high gearing since I turn higher RPMs than I'd like at 75 mph.

Swap the drivetrain with a Fiat 123 engine and transmission.

yeah, not that expensive tough if i do it myself. prob around 4000€ to get it all done i'm guessing.

Have you ever driven a DSG/DCT?

>No. If it doesn't have a clutch pedal/has a PRNDL then mah semantics
I'm more concerned with mechanical operation and function and how that relates to the way drive is transmitted to the wheels as opposed to arbitrary clutch operation and shift pattern.

>>15435263
Automatics have been taking over a lot of fleets. And they have been really common in medium-duty trucks for years.
All of our straight trucks have 5spd or 6spd autos, pretty much all of the single-axle tractors that are used on bay trucks and pup trailers are 5spd-6spd autos, and the newer half of the 2-axle tractors that pull the 48' and 53' dry van trailers have 10spd autos. It was all about reliability in the past but they have gotten better I guess. And the DEF systems on newer trucks will fuck the trucks up before the automatic trans anyway so whatever.
They are all technically automated manuals though, where the internals are like a manual transmission but shifted by a computer so they drive a little different than cars. You can still select gears with the buttons if you want, but sometimes it is nice to have the 10spd or 13spd manuél when you're towing a lot of weight. Especially through hills. And 18spd if you're a supertrucker.
Pic related shows the buttons for the auto trans on the right.
>>15435319
why haven't they gotten systems to actually work, def egr and all sorts of cancer should be worked out.

not a pic of the interior of mine but it's exactly this
the interior is HIT, smelled like wet dog and sweaty prepubescent athletics funk
>>15435325
I have no idea. They talk about it in the truckerfag threads saying that these companies knew the regulations were coming for years but did nothing to prepare. And when the law was finally passed, they just slapped some shit together. The beauty of those trucks is that up until the late 00's, the drivetrains were really simple compared to cars of the same era and after that there are so many more wires and bullshit in there. Pic related is pre-emissions C7.
The DEF system is one thing, but the DPF systems that lighter Internationals use (other companies may use something similar) is fucking awful. That's the one that is supposed to do regens while you cruise at highway speeds but they get fucked up in a bunch of different ways.
The KW I drive is pre-emissions and I'm happy with it. We have a bunch of newer Internationals and I don't even like dealing with them. They are the newest trucks in the fleet but are in the shop more than anything else and it is never an easy fix. The fleet mechanics are always sitting there with a laptop hooked up to it for days and just get pissed off and eventually send it back to the dealer.
>>15435319
interesting. just goes to show i don't know shit about big rigs.
sounds like an auto with some kind of gated sport shift for better control over the lower range might help. but that might introduce more problems than it solves
>>15435325
>>15435347
Pic related is post-emissions N7
>vape nation
>>15435357
Ehh, the lower range isn't even where you want as much control over gears. Other than wanting to skip 1st and 2nd (and maybe 3rd) when you aren't load very heavy or are stopped on a downhill. In a 10spd transmisson, The low gears are really short, 5th gear is only good for like 10mph.
It's when you are on hills at higher speeds and want to be able to downshift for power uphill or engine braking downhill that you really want the ability to shift gears without a computer between you and the transmission. When you are going downhill with a loaded trailer, that fucker will gain speed really, really fast. And between the drum brakes overheating and the fact that you have a limited supply of air, you need control of the gear you are in for dat engine braking.
>>15435254
Daily driver as in your car
>>15435347
yeah so its been out a few years now so im surprised that its still not figured out by now
>>15435412
I'd like to say it's getting better but by now I just avoid those newer trucks for the most part so idk if they are getting better. And all of our newer trucks are Internationals which are trash so if they aren't in the shop for emissions problems by 20k miles, they are in for electrical problems.

Honestly says a lot
the only reason people "hate" FWD is because they dont have experience in good FWD
Tsuchiya "hated" FWD until he was a pro racer and later a car tester , he turned into a pretty big Honda shill.
So it's a lack of experience thing on the part of the people who shit on it.
