Does anyone know if the 6MT will have a hill-hold or hill-assist feature. I've driven in current model VWs and BMWs and where I live it really saves your butt and really takes the stress level down a notch. I know I should be good enough not to worry about rolling back, but still it's a neat little feature I'm wondering if Infiniti has picked up on?

 

So far I haven't heard anything like that on the G37. It would be really nice for the MT drivers though from Infiniti. I hope it's available at least as some kind of option.

 

I doubt it. None of the previous 6MT's came with this feature. It may be something Infiniti may think about in the future.

 

WTF? Hill Assist?

I award this the biggest nancy post I've seen on this board. Do you guys know how to drive?

Honestly, the G37 is going to be a good mix of a drivers car, luxury, and style. 'Hill assist' sounds like something you'd see on a non-drivers car like a lexus or mercury. I don't see how you can appreciate the sportyness of this car when you want it to drive itself.

Might as well make it a full automatic. In my opinion, a manual transmission should be just that... manual. "Hill Assist" sounds too... uhhh.

When you fully learn how to drive an MT, you will not worry about any hill, no matter how steep it is. If its insanely steep, like almost 90 degrees steep ... use the hand-brake method.

I agree trial by fire get nervios that you are gonna roll back into the car behind you and do it a couple of time then you will know how to react to the car

 

lmao!!! if you need hill assist then maybe a 6mt isnt for you...sorry.

 

I actually think it'll be a nice feature.

I've been stuck (not in the G) in traffic on a particular HUGE hill near Sunset Blvd on La Cienega and I must say I did put some strain on the e-brake and the clutch lol

 

^^^i know the exact spot you're talking about...they filmed a "jackass" episode there.

 

The few times I've used E-Brake method, I actually learned very quickly. So I doubt I have strained the E-Brake. And I usually let the clutch slip less than under "normal" conditions, so I guess theres no harm in that.

Wally, If I remember, you have the JWT clutct/flywheel. Either way, how's the engagement point on it? I really wan't my engagement like right off the floor; stock is just too high.

when I got to work I have to park in a garage and go up and it is usually bumper to bumper going up the ramp it was nerve racking at first but now its no big deal

 

oh yes, definitely. it's called HAND BRAKE!

 

i think if it's 90 degrees you should start worrying about the car flipping over

 

Yeah I know.

I just like using a bit of exagerations on topics like these

man over the weekend i ran into this very steep street, it was more than 30 degrees for sure. but the funny thing is after your done coming up, there's a small stretch of flat road (size of my car) then the same angle going down.
my car practically flew man. i even forgot to **** my pants
