I have been driving my manual car for almost 10 years , 197,000km - .

 

1. Clutch wear out about every 100,000km - replacement kit with pressure plate, clutch disc, slave cylinder. Drop transmission , sub frame, etc very labor intensive.

 

2. Master cylinder kaput about 100,000km as well and need to bleed brake/ clutch fluid every year. Pedal sticks to the floor and coming up. Fluid absorbs water, sometimes air bubbles, contamination from brake cos share the same reservoir. When warm the water / air expands causing the clutch to slip.

 

3. Gearbox oil also need to change regularly (2years maybe) - wear and tear on the bearings and synchro make it hard to change gears, whining noise , gear stick vibrations . Now using Redline light weight shockproof to avoid a rebuild.

 

All the fluid changes, minor repairs a few hundred each time . The major clutch change about $1700. Maintaining a manual transmission is definitely not easy.

 

I am happy to change out my manual after 6 years :D

Turbocharged

The new Subaru Impreza just launched today in Singapore. As expected, no manual transmission available in Singapore. But it's available in USA for the base model.
