Hey All

Just upgraded the clutch and flywheel hopping it would fix the problem with 3rd gear ( crunches all the time even just sitting there ) but no such luck. The guys at the shop told me it would be the syncro. to replace just 1 syncro would cost $600 or the rebuild the whole box with new beaings and syncros $1200.

Do these prices sound right? they seam fair to me.

If i go ahead and do the whole box is there anything elese i can do to streghten it while there there?

Any sugestions as i only want to do this once.

Cheers

Those prices are cheap, I take it the box is already out then?

3rd gear synchro is a pretty common problem with the 6 speed box. Luckily the parts are cheap for the box since it's been around for 20 years or so in one form or another.

if u can spare the cash i would recommend getting a celica 6th gear since chances are the shop will break ur 6th pulling it all apart .... hey they might not but if they do putting the celica 6th in will get u those extra revs for smoother highway cruising.

also i would highly recommend the extended push rod

also the shifter cable bushings set

also if u dont have a TRD shifter kit then would also recommend the shifter base bushes being done also

all thse together provide a nice end to end solution for ensuring smooth shifting operation

I didn't break the 6th gear, but still put the celica 6th gear in, 4k rpm gets me 139km/h, before used to get me 120km/h

Sounds like a plan. Where can I pick one up from? And what should I expect to pay? Cheers

is this what you were reffering to? its all i could find on monkey wrench under 6th gear pairs

Yeh thats what i found. If that it im getting one. might say for a lsd and do it all together....

Would it be ok to dyno it with a syncro out? all they do is leave it in 3rd right so shouldnt be to bad???

yep def get the LSD in their if its an option for u ...... im running the quaife lsd and man what a difference it makes.

regarding the dyno if its only the synro if shouldnt cause any more damage than ur usual driving ..... however if u actually have gear damage then ur simply putting more load on an already damaged gear

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
