does anyone know how to fix this problem i have??

i've got this problem forever but havent got roound to fixing it...until now--i hope

once i hit lift around 6000 revs at 1st gear, i cant shift it into 2nd gear- no matter how hard i try to jam it in. can only get it in once revs drop down below 6k.

problem doesnt happen at high revs from 2nd to 3rd to 4th gear, only from 1st to 2nd.

tried it on friends' stivo and it is comparatively easy to get into 2nd.

took it into toyota b4 my warranty runs out, but they cant seem to find the problem.

CAN ANYONE HELP MY PLZ??? any help much appreciated.

ps- might as well give up dragging if i can keep it in lift, so plz help else i'll be the slow stivo around!!

LOL Shao u kill me.....

Ok to help u out bluey do a search for clutch adjustment or just clutch or just adjustment.....

This was up for discussion a few months ago...

The fix for this involved adjusting the clutch by ur dealer.

Out of curiosity do u have a pre or post facelift stivo ?

I'll save you some trouble, if clutch adjustment doesn't work chuck the stock clutch out and get a new one! ;)

mine's a pre-facelift corolla

i took it into the dealer and they checked it out but cant find any problems. i suggested that it was a clutch issue but he disagreed saying it would happen to all gears. dont think he knows what he is talking about.

cant change gears while in lift-- might as well buy an ascent..

Do you find it hard to shift quick at normal revs too (eg 3000-5000rpm)? I am thinking it could be stuffed synchros too if it does that. But if its not, get a new clutch kit seriously, you will be really happy once the problem is gone although i must admit the stock clutch is not too bad quality and can take quite a fair bit of abuse. But i had to make a decision because i had the same issues and more and is not good for car and driver i the long run ;)

Same model, same problem, dealer adjusted the clutch, no more problem. B)

only have tried one dealer, cornes toyota in adelaide, and that guy had no idea.

will try cmi on the w/end.

zeerolla, no problem changing gear at below lift but impossible 1-2 in lift :angry:

but if dealer cant fix it, might have to change clutch. how much does it cost, plus labour??

and shaohaok, took ur advice and had a search- just to confirm, if the dealer adjusted the clutch, does the clutch height change as well?? does it even matter

hehe that's where I bought my car :D, their customer service is great but I moved over here before I looked into getting the problem fixed, and still haven't, oh well, soon... Also NEVER go there for an after hours service, all the service managers are not there during that time and the lackies have no idea what they are doing other then changing fluids...

I don't know about the other dealers in Sth Aus, maybe try CMI on West Terrace or the Lexus place just down the road.

Hey Bluey, you can get a new clutch kit for as little as $250. Labour i was charged $300. Toyota asked for $600-$710 :ph34r:

Just ask Toyota what they adjusted, if they say the pedal height tell them to p11s off, doesn't work i even tried it myself at the track. A Toyota dealership i took the car to said the clutch system is hydraulic so cannot do much but i think is a load of bullocks, some guys here still got it fixed somehow by getting the rod coming out of the master cylinder adjusted, which one dealership also said they did but didn't solve the problem.

      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.
