Do you have a different feeling with your clutch after you got back your car??? Since most of us have got a slightly heavier clutch, and the friction pt was a bit lower then before.

I doubt these changes were due to the change of the cable ~ :huh::unsure::ph34r: I think the change of cable was for the vibration and rattle behind the cenral console at high rev.

IMO, I think they did something to the clutch.......

Correct me if something is wrong B)

What you guys reckon?? B)

i change my gear box oil every 5000km - this was trusty advice given by the guys from honda on one of the bmi videos. doesn't cost much and keeps the gearbox feeling nice.

it is neede4d to be changed heaps more frequently in close ratios and high revving engines

I got my clutch pedal adjusted and it shifts perfectly everytime. If u take a look at the letter from Jenny it does state that it needs to be adjusted. Print that letter out and take it to them. It deffinitely did fix the issue.

Probably old news now and I seem to be the last to have had it done, but at my 12 month service they replaced the gear cables and knob, also adjusted the clutch.

Not much difference in pedal feel, but gear change is much improved (still wouldn't say it's perfect, but definitely better than before). Best of all, no more rattles!

OK...Maybe the guys in ur state can tell u which dealer to go to get it done. I have got mine adjusted and as I said it is perfect now. The email that I got from Jenny Stewart after numerous complaints from most of us did specify that it does need to be adjusted. If they do not think it is the clutch pedal then I suggest u write an email to Jenny and state which dealer is not willing to do this for u. Hope she'll get things sorted for u.

Jenny.Stewart@toyota.com.au

For others who want to see the email that I got from her, here it is again:

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

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,

No probs mate. I know how frustrating it can be. I was in the same shoes where my service center wouldn;t even look at the problem coz they think I was thrashing the car. I rang Jenny and spoke to her one time and then followed it by an email. She got it all sorted out with an email sent to me to tell me what to do. She's not too bad. Really helpful with my issues. Come to think of it I was meant to write a formal complaint to her about my old service center. They were hopeless.

Anyway hope it gets fixed once and for all. :D

[just dropped my sportivo off for 10,000km sevice and afeter arguing over price of service (was told $200 on phone got there to mct they tell me $280, the paper says $180 they uy then says $220).

sportivo1 , they also claim you contact does not work there anymore so no more discounted servicng.

anyway was complainingabout gear cable rattle at over 5000rpm and also hard to engage reverese and guy (name withheld) says ohh thats just the car, another worker over heard and piped in that "officially yesterday" a service bulliten was approved for clutch adjustment and cable replacement... will see when i pick it up at 1pm.... worth the extra $20 if they do it ($20 bet says they dont do squat).

rant/bitch session finished (till 2pm) ;)

gear shift fixed, especially reverse... some time baulks from 2nd to 3rd when cold though but that is design not function of the gearbox as its ok when warmed up.

v8s are nothing now, but interestingly a stock corolla is better than a r33 gtst automatic skyline for a squirt. (I admit a lady with the worst seating position that could not see over the steering wheel was driving but wanted to go everyone and anyone... she got a reality check in lift).

      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.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
