Clutch getting stuck :o

Hey

I have never worn out a clutch completely. I am sure that it isnt a worn clutch.

What happens is when changing gear sometimes(prolly the aggressive times), from 1st - 2nd i find the clutch getting stuck up in the air(as if the crunch wasnt bad enough). i know it cant be good for it and i continue with the 2nd to 3rd gear change with it still stuck. clutch engagement acts normally an all. i either give it a sharp tap and it swings back down, lately i just drag it back down with my foot.

anyway, this is just a warning that this odd thing can occur, an suprise u like it did me.

any way some experience or info would be good. what you all think? need some oil? little lubrication?

Cheers

ive got the same issue man

your clutch is about to go !!

u might notice it slipping every now and again

time for a exedy HD clutch

approx how much does a exedy HD clutch cost.. + installation??

ive done about 81 k in my car ... it slips every now and then ... i think the clutch may be going (i learnt to drive manual on this car ... :( i think i gave it some extra wear and tear)

Hey just an update.

Took it to get serviced and explained how the clutch pedal was getting stuck on its way back to resting position.

i mentioned this site and the fact that this(our) car(sportivo) and its owners has had alot of different and technical problems.

i myself was thinking it needed a clutch adjustment as it hasnt been in for that.

Got it back yesterday and was told that they bled the clutch's hydrolics.

Anyway it is still happening. :-( . Im goin to call them for the adjustment soon. the problem doesnt seem to be inhibiting any other driving components.

So that didnt work, ill update this when i have the adjustment done, in the future.

if it doesnt swing back....how do u get it back and change gear's and keep your rev's??.....

if they have done the hydrolics thats part of the adjustment (thats what they told me), but i have never had this problem YET *touch wood*.

im thinking new clutch... but if u have a mechanic they will no what to do and try ever thing before they say new clutch

:D

good luck with it.. let us all no the out come

cheers,

For the clutch itself your looking at a bit over $400 if you got someone who can give you a good price, if not around $500 i think

while its out you should look at doing the rear main oil seal (rear main crank seal) which to byu from toyota is around $50

new gearbox oil not much,

labour, once again depending on where you go, i paid a mate $250 (my suggestion on price that he was happy with)

just get your clutch height adjusted..

i had the same problem wen i bought my 03 stivo from 1st to 2nd wen i use to flat chnge it use to get stuck for a second and then really take its time for the pedal to come bak up to normal height.. it cost me about 50$ for a friend to do it.. think u can get it done from toyota for about 80$ just give it a try man im pretty sure if your confident that ur clutch it alright for now then that might be ur prob.. just see if it wrks if u want, better off trying it then buying a hole new clutch wen the one u have might be ok for now.. and if u choose to get a new clutch i wudnt spend more then 650/700 MAX instald for a HD or any type of clutch u choose..

Definately your clutch! I had the exact same issue. Needed to use the top of my foot to pull it back into position...

The Fix - New clutch & Flywheel...

P.S I paid about $850 for my F1 lightened flywheel and clutch installed...You guys are gettin ripped :P

Check out this link

Currently have this xact setup and I swear by it. Have used Exedy clutches before, very bitey. These are perfectly suited to the HP we put out...And will handle about 250HP :D And with the lightened flywheel, she is so responsive, runs up the revs quite quickly :D

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
