Hey guys

I got my car back with the adjusted clutch pedal and it seems like it has improved heaps. It slides in very easy now however the clutch feels a lot different. Prob will take me a few weeks to get use to. The friction point is now almost all the way up. I just need to push the clutch pedal 1/4 down and I can change gears. I'm not sure if I like it this way. It makes going from a stand still on a hill harder as u roll back more because of the time to release the clutch up to the friction point.

I also tried landing in lift once but it landed at 5800RPM. Much better improvement from before at 54000RPM. No more getting stuck on the gear change. Also for any guys who have the scraping noise (Xoom). They are ordering some sort of cable to fix this problem. They said that the other Toyota service should have picked this up as several Stivo's has this problem. This is coming from Western Toyota in Guildford. No more Warren Toyota!!! I am now waiting for this cable to arrive so that they can replace it. We'll see how it goes. If this prob is fixed then I will have my Stivo all sorted out with no more issues. It's slowly getting there. :)

Man, mines terrible, if im stood still in nuetral and I put the clutch in then try and slide it in to 3rd it flatly refuses, 5th is also hard all the others are not too bad and shifting over 5,000 is just a big no no.

I can't wait till my service.

good to hear that some of ur problems are solved :)

but actually I would have thought clutch adjustment would actually make the clutch travel less instead of more. Cos for me my friction point is all the way up as well, i feel it would be better if it was further down. Iwant to ask the dealer and see if they can adjust it.

Good to hear positive outcomes on the clutch adjustment. The guys i brought my car to obviously didn't do it to my car, but they only received the fax and email from Toyota after. I will be bringing mine into Toyota again for a second shot at it.

hmm, Blackrolla, have you reconsidered keeping the stivo??

LOL

Yep. I have already pulled out on the Accord Euro. Financial problems. Let's just say someone didn't pay a Vodafone bill. :angry:

Things are also looking good with the Stivo. Hope everything gets fixed at this other Toyota service centre. I was soooo close to trading it in. Now that the clutch issue has been fixed I'm beginning to have a bit of fun with her again. :D

Good to hear alot of you are getting resolution on this issue :) and falling in love with the beast again!!!! B)

I drove Rollrgrl's car the other weekend with the better clutch, and OH BABY!...it brought back memories!

My other baby is in at lexus again this week to look at the clutch, as the details in the bulliten didnt fix my issues. The head technician is throwing himself at the car today to resolve my issue.

If this doesnt get fixed today there is talk of a new cluthch assembly and gearbox :D

Hey Craig are we unlucky or what? The dealership i went to also failed to resolve my issues, they even rang Shane at Nunawading Toyota (their words). I am also booking the car in at another dealership to have a second look.

For now my new TRD CAI mod is keeping me happy :lol:

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to bring up and old topic however thought you might like to know that there is an un-announced recall on our beloved sportivo's regarding the clutch. Apparently this is the root of the evil for the sticking gear shifts, notchiness etc etc.. I am getting my car back tomorrow so i will keep you informed how it goes.

I suggest everyone get in contact with there dealer if you have not already done so.

Cheers

I am due for 12 month service and right on cue my cable rattles have reappeared. Was there a recall on this? Anyone know the number so I can look it up and have documentation ready for my dealer at service?

I have always had trouble shifting, especially 1st-2nd so want to get the clutch adjusted too.

Thanks, but I already read that thread and it doesn't actually answer my question. As of the last post (Aug 2004?), the cable "fix" wasn't an official recall issue.

I haven't heard anything contrary in the last 6 months, so are dealers doing this for everyone? I just want to pre-empt my dealer saying "I've never heard anything about this"...

Man, then you should ask him "Have you heard about the Toyota Technical News Flash 30/11/04?"....this is the officical "internal" technical documents for the Toyota service ppl. Ask that stupid guy to read this if he got no idea about what you are talking about..... :angry: if he doesn't know the "the Toyota Technical News Flash 30/11/04".....jsut talk to service manager. If even the manager dunno about it....man then just leave straight away.....

I dun think a dealer who even have no idea of the Toyota service document are good enough to fix your car and solve the problems ~~ :D :D

Correct me if I'm wrong :P

Btw, I copied this somewhere in this forum, this was a email reply from Toyota Australia.

Print it out in case you get a "cheaty" dealer :lol:

Here is the email:

Thank you for your recent email outlining the ongoing issues with your Corolla Sportivo.

For anyone who has the gear shift problem here's a reply from Jenny Stewart. You might wanna adjust the clutch pedal. Not sure if this will work but I will give it a try.

Toyota Australia has investigated reports of gear shift feel/baulking during high rpm gear change on Corolla Sportivo. Our investigations have not identified any design or assembly faults with the clutch or related components.

However, the clutch pedal adjustment was found to be outside specification in some cases and has contributed to the reported gear shift condition. Please arrange inspection of the clutch pedal adjustment by your Warren Toyota as soon as convenient.

We thank you for bringing your personal concerns to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond.

Yours sincerely,

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Ask the guy if he had heard about "Jenny Stewart" :lol: :P :D :P ~~

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
