How can i save myself $$$

[trd-benji]

So it could just be me, but somtimes it find it hard to select a gear or they are just not as smooth. I never thrash my car, never used lift i look after it. I drive it hard somtimes but never ride the clutch nor rev it high. I was thinking i may need a gear box oil change. I went to my local mechanic that i know and he said could maybe be the clutch, or could be a few bolts, it is just process of elimination. He said clutches do not usually go till around 150,000-160,000 for corollas since new and i mine has done around 101,000. I am just worried because new clutche are very expensive. What should i do? I have warranty on this car through my dealer. Is this something i can get them to look at?

2zzge gearboxes, in sportivo's and celicas do get tired.

changing the oil with good quality oils will help. i Used Castrol Syntrax 75w-90, with Nulon G70 additive, and it never gave me any problems whatsoever

other people reccomend to go with Royal Purple gear oils, some say Redline products are the best.... but do your own research and make your own choice on the oils.

one thing to note... clutches dont go at any given mileage, it all depends on how you drive, or the previous owner, if its worn, theres nothing yuo can do to stop it giving out.

Replace with a good quality clutch kit and you'll be much happier, but be prepared to spend some decnt money to do so.

good luck with it.
