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)

hi there guys just to add something a little differnt to this topic. i went to my dealer .. about the gearbox .had a look at the travel and fixed it .. but they also said they dumped the gear box oil and it had **** it self .. and said if its driven hard the oil needs to be replaced ever 30ks not 60 and not to uses synthetic oil as they have been add to the problem .. well let me no what u guys think hey .. but the cars drivin like a dream now very happy :lol:

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!

Got my Cables fitted and my gears tightened .. gears go in smoother den b4.. but still over 6000rpm gears r stiff asss!! :angry:

My mate the service manager still doesnt agree tat the clutch needs adjusting! :(

:o

Hmmm, gears are still crunching on shift from 1st to 2nd and stiff from 2nd to 3rd.  Grrrrr  :angry:

Yeah viking!! 1st to 2nd is hard to get in .. 3rd-4th-5th couldnt even go into gear.. i got eaten up by a v8 Calias !!! :angry: <_<

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.

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) ;)

My car is sweet now .. goes harder without the gear problems.. ! here i come v8's! Vroooomz :P :blink: :o

thanx again blackrolla! ;)

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).
