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.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
