what i noticed is that the engagement point is different slightly, no more sticky shifting, no more me forcing it in cause it just goes in. But i didnt crunch it once i assume thats my fault shifted to quickly when i was testing it and since the engagement point is diff u know the rest.. but great news for all.

if you have a look at the top of your clutch pedal you will see the rod from the master cylinder with a locking nut on it, you losen the nut and spin the rod in or out to adjust the clutch. there should also be a height adjustment bolt on the other side for setting the pedal height after the adjustment.

Wind the rod out of you want to put more pressure on the pressure plate to release it.

Will try adjusting the clutch's enagement point to see if it works for me. It could be as simple as the pressure plate not releasing fully when we have our clutch pressed to the floor. So maybe we can adjust it to release further up for more play. Makes sense guys?

Trying to find a trend here....

How many of the people with clutch issues have had the pedals changed to sports pedals????

I have, and I have clutch problems.... I don't think there will be a connection but it's worth a try...

Ok, lets say its the clutch... and this is a serious question... why would 1st -> 2nd or in some peoples case 2nd -> 3rd be so much tighter and there be no real problems with the rest?

BTW... mine is much better since having the gear selector cables done. My 2nd ->3rd is still tight... but it goes in first go at least. Took it for a spin this morning and it went in everytime... but as i said, its just a little tight and not as free as the others. Downchanging = not a problem

I don't think its anythng to do with the sports pedals, i don't have them and i get gear shifting problems. My gaers don't crunch very oftehn but it does on occassions. I found that when i first changed the transmission fluid to synthetic and added Nulon G70 transmission additive which is supposed to improve shifting feel by 50% and reduce crunching, the gearshifting quality DID improve. But the gearshifetr "sticking" is still a problem.

From Peekay's experience, his car after having removed the TOMs/TRD stuff and had the OEM clutch put back in, now drives with no issues. So i am coming to a conclusion that the clutch probably does need some adjustment, if not it is something to do with the assembly, or throw out bearing.

i had my gear lever and cables replaced last week and for the first few days it was good but its now as bad as it was when i first took it in.

i dont have sports pedals either so i dont think that is the issue.

its still smooth in low revs but when it used to stick after 6000rpm now its 6500 rpm before it sticks.

anyway im taking it back to toyota again tomorrow and see what they come up with.

if its still doing it when i get it back. im going to my personal mechanic who has deals with anything with a motor. custom builds drag cars and boats. and see what he comes up with then take it back to toyota with his report and get them to look into any issues he finds.

if they wont come to the party im just gonna say ******it and spend the money get a good clutch/flywheel and void the warranty.

its just not owrth the hassel waiting for toyota to do somthing because they will keep throwing off till the warranty is up anyway and maybe by then there will be actual problems with the gearbox from it being forced into gear all the time.

its just not worth it.

but i tell ya now if i do have to spend the money and fix it myself im gonna write to evry mag paper email evry car site i can find and give toyota as much bad publicity as i can..

I am getting my car looked at tomorrow too and will get them to fiddle with the clutch. If its still not solved that's it, the clutch is coming off.

get them to call up Nadw service and ask Shane, what they did to my car.

Adrian, you sure you got the dealership's name right? My dealership here in Wollongong said they don't know about this dealership.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
